La Fin du monde a du retard
J.M. Erre

Composed like a thriller, La fin du monde a du retard features Alice and Julius, two amnesiacs who have escaped from the psychiatric ward where they are being treated. Julius is convinced that he has a mission to save humanity from a dastardly plot. As he is chased by the police, the press and mysterious, shadowy figures, adventures and plot twists pile up until the incredible final revelation.

As with all of his novels, J. M. Erre plays fast and free with the codes of a popular genre (B movies in Série Z, detective novels in Le Mystère Sherlock). In La fin du monde a du retard, esoteric thrillers like the Da Vinci Code are his new playground.
La fin du monde a du retard questions in an off-beat way how each of us comes to our beliefs, but above all, it is a joyful tale about what is both so horrible and so wonderful about being human: our ability to tell stories.

A side-splitting tribute to esoteric thrillers. In this brilliant, off-the-wall and absolutely hilarious new novel, J-M Erre draws us into a paranoid amnesiac’s epic quest to save the world.
