G.H. Fretwell, a minor author of little-known novels, lives in a small town
English, with his wife, Rebecca, who doesn't pay much attention to him. His
new novel, has just been released and Fretwell is embarking on a tour
meetings in bookstores to promote it. More or less well received
In the bookstores on his circuit, Fretwell never managed to sign the
the slightest book and spends days walking through alleys to find his
path. Abandoned by his publisher who clearly has other fish to fry,
he is impatiently waiting for a review to appear in the literary section
from a major daily newspaper, a column that will never come. Fretwell's troubles
begins when he is questioned by the police about a stolen suitcase because
Its circuit is strangely similar to that of the "Suitcase Killer", a killer
in series which is raging at that time. Fretwell will gradually understand that the
police suspect him...Andi Watson's new book, which is being published for the first time
exclusive to France, is a little gem of dark humor with a graphic style
retro. We follow with delight the misfortunes of this author confronted with a situation
where everything escapes him, a Kafkaesque story, which takes a surrealist turn
as problems pile up on Fretwell's path.
