Who would we be if we had made different choices? Told that secret, left that relationship, written that book? We all wonder—the passengers of Air France 006 will find out. In their own way, they were all living double lives when they boarded the plane: Blake, a respectable family man who works as a contract killer. Slimboy, a Nigerian pop star who uses his womanizing image to hide that he’s gay. Joanna, a Black American lawyer pressured to play the good old boys’ game to succeed with her Big Pharma client. Victor Miesel, a critically acclaimed yet largely obscure writer suddenly on the precipice of global fame. About to start their descent to JFK, they hit a shockingly violent patch of turbulence, emerging on the other side to a reality both perfectly familiar and utterly strange. As it charts the fallout of this logic- defying event, The Anomaly takes us on a journey from Lagos and Mumbai to the White House and a top-secret hangar. In Hervé Le Tellier’s most ambitious work yet, high literature follows the lead of a bingeable Netflix series, drawing on the best of genre fiction from “chick lit” to mystery, while also playfully critiquing their hallmarks. An ingenious, timely variation on the doppelgänger theme, it taps into the parts of ourselves that elude us most. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cOther Press,|d2021. |nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 731 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Literature.|2OverDrive 650 7 Science Fiction.|2OverDrive 650 7 Thriller.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9781635421699 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/6093663 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=c3805e57- 670d-4105-b69b-4d1cf926c0bf&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0111-1/ %7BC3805E57-670D-4105-B69B-4D1CF926C0BF%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0111-1/ %7BC3805E57-670D-4105-B69B-4D1CF926C0BF%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
