RNZ's Nine to Noon: The Mystery of Henri Pick by David Foenkinos / by Time Out Bookstore

In a small village in France, sits a library of unpublished manuscripts, which must be delivered in person.

A Parisian editor find a manuscript of genius while browsing the shelves. The book is published, taking the book world by storm - but is this a hoax? How can Henri Pick, a grouchy pizzeria owner, have written this when no one in his lifetime saw him pick up a pen?

A charming literary mystery with a kooky cast of characters, reminiscent of the film Amélie. Listen to Jenna’s review below and buy the book here.
