Praise
“sure to appeal to fans of Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler and Georges Simenon. . . A slim novel with laconic prose and a stunning plot, The King of Fools will keep many a mystery lover up too late–and waiting eagerly for the next novel of Dard’s to be translated into English.” – Jessica Howard, bookseller at Bookmans, in Shelf Awareness
“A book about a love story gone bad … charming and engaging far beyond the plot details.” — International Crime Fiction
“The French master of noir.” — The Observer
“Alongside the Maigret novels of Georges Simenon there is a rich vein of period French crime still to be tapped. Frédéric Dard is a case in point.” — Daily Mail
“The literary descendant of Simenon and Celine.” — Le Figaro
“No question: for me, he was the greatest.” — Philippe Geluck
“France’s most popular post-war author.” — L’Express
“His language is cutting, his point-of-view original and his verdict uncompromising… One of the few twentieth-century authors to win both critical acclaim and great popularity.” — Solidarité Militaire
