“A little marvel. Tarantino would have loved to write this book.” — Sandrine Mariette, ELLE “A jubilant black comedy with unforgettable characters. A reading pleasure!” — Caroline Rieder, 24 Heures “A mystical and burlesque novel, utterly hilarious.” — Virginie François, Le Monde “A completely crazy book, politically incorrect to the extreme, very, very funny: a little gem.” — Bernard Poirette, LCI “Incardona manipulates the narrative mechanics of tragicomedy with infectious jubilation, comments on the action, addresses the reader, and sketches a gallery of unforgettable portraits, rosary in one hand, gun in the other.” — Véronique Cassarin-Grand, L’Obs
