Title : Mr. Dick or the Tenth Book - Jean-Pierre Ohl - Book
Summary :
The narrator, François Daumal, harbors an exclusive passion for Dickens. He is haunted by the desire to know the ending the great writer planned for his final novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, whose incompleteness has given rise to a deluge of sometimes delirious hypotheses to this day. But Daumal has a rival, in the person of Michel Mangematin, who pursues the same chimera... Under the gaze of a mysterious old bookseller, Mr. Krook, the two young people engage in a fierce duel, which extends into the realm of love. The enigmas multiply, the twists and turns carry the story from one era to another at a frenetic pace, in the company of extravagant characters worthy of Miss Havisham or Mr. Pickwick. Which of the two young men will discover Edwin Drood's secret? A brilliant entertainment, Mr. Dick is also a hymn to literature and its powers.
