Raphaël Jerusalmy returns with a gourmand's obsession, in five words
The French author publishes "Navré" with L'Animal, a novel about a late-19th-century idler ready to do anything to eat well, and submits to Livres Hebdo's five-word self-portrait exercise.
Raphaël Jerusalmy has a new novel out: "Navré," published by L'Animal, according to Livres Hebdo. The book follows a dilettante rentier of the late nineteenth century whose sole obsession is eating well — and who, per the outlet's summary, is willing to go to any length to satisfy it.
Livres Hebdo presents the book as part of its recurring feature in which an author describes himself in five words. The outlet gives no further detail on the novel's plot, length or release date beyond identifying the publisher and the premise.
No additional information on Jerusalmy's five chosen words, or on the wider context of this rentrée title, is available from the source material.
