New books for this weekend part II: HHhH

11:23 mareku 0 Comments

Laurent Binets' Himmlers Hirn heißt Heydrich is a curious book - part fiction, part biography. Laurent describes how you came to write this book and takes the reader on a journey into the story of the attack on Heydrich in Prague in 1942. It's clear that Laurant loves Prague and knows it very well (as I do) and he draws a very vivid picture of this magnificent town during WWII. His quest to find to truth about Heydrich and the attack is very addicting and it was very hard to lay down this book.

New books for this weekend part I: Mes illusions donnent sur la cour

Sacha Sperling wrote a novel with a well known story: teenagers who smoke joints, use drugs, drink to much and have sex - only this time the main character (Sacha) is only 14...
In a sort "Lary Clark" picture with vivid factual descriptions he describes his meeting with Augustin, his new found friend (and lover as we discover). A stunning debut of a guy who just turned 18 and a book which you have to read till it's finished.

Hmmm...
