Description
A Johnny Novel is a daring, beautiful book that skirts the surreal while ironicaly inserting itself into the contemporary conflict between knowledge, literature and the body. The different sections of this novel work are three streams that converge to form one flowing river of words that, in the end, whisk the characters away toward an ending as unexpected as it is spectacular.
About the author
Robert Richard has earned his living as a professional musician, journalist, university professor and arts organizer. From 1984 to 1991, he was the principal organizer of an international series of lectures dealing with contemporary cultural issues. Richard is the author of two previous books, Le corps logique de la fiction (l’Hexagone), and L’autobiographie du monde (Balazc). A Johnny Novel is his first novel.
