About the Book

'If you leave them to roam free books can hardly ever be wrong.'

Meet Robert Dubois. Cheek resting on a pile of manuscripts, the ageing and perhaps too comfortable publisher of Robert Dubois Books is alone one evening in his office. In walks a pretty intern with an e-reader. For a man who thought he had seen it all, this is a revolution. Can text really live without paper? As Dubois gets to know his new machine and carries on with his publisher's life, author lunches and bookshops visits, the reader tucked under his arm tells him of the new paperless world to which he might not belong. Don't be fooled, Dubois hasn't given up. Late at night, he secretly plots new forms of literature with a group of interns, with whom he shares his immoderate and timeless love of books and reading.

About the Author :
Paul Fournel was born in 1947. He worked as a publisher with Ramsay & Seghers, and chaired the Societe des gens de lettres. He was head of the Alliance Francaise in San Francisco, and a cultural attache in Cairo and London. He now writes full time and cycles during the rest of the day. As a third full-time job, he is the Provisionally Definitive Secretary and President of the literary collective known as Oulipo, whose members have included George Perec and Italo Calvino, among many others. He is also the author of numerous novels, short stories, plays, memoirs, and poetry.

Review :
Delightfully satirical... [the] ultimate celebration of printed books Le Monde All about the intense and carnal pleasures of reading Telerama Poetic, satirical and delicate: here is a novel in urgent need of reading L'Express A delight Le Figaro Brief, witty, intellectual and wonderfully quotable... the most truthful account of literary ennui I have ever read... a quietly remarkable little book Spectator Dear Reader is a joyously satirical, affectionate novel - unashamedly a book about books Huffington Post A wry but affectionate look at today's publishing world The Lady [A] pleasingly bookish novella... can be hugely enjoyed without being studiously deciphered TLS A wonderful book full of wry humour and surprising twists The Bay Dear Reader is a good example of why the Oulipian method isn't merely a game, but rather a surprisingly fertile approach to writing The Complete Review

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
