Title : Paris-Brest - Tanguy Viel - book

Summary :

It is obvious that my grandmother's rather late fortune played an important role in this story. Without all that money, my parents would never have returned to settle in Finistère. And I myself, no doubt, would never have left Brest to live in Paris. But the real problem lies elsewhere, when it came to returning years later and making the journey in the other direction, from Paris to Brest. "Tanguy Viel is a rare novelist in his dual mastery of style and plot. We are captivated by his icy sentences, his suspense played out then foiled, his mismatched silhouettes. We take a thousand pointless detours and then suddenly find ourselves back at the scene of the crime, where vultures circle in the sky." (Marie-Laure Delorme, Le Journal du dimanche) "It was in Brest that the writer set up his theater, not in the invigorating ocean air but in the stale air of houses with thick granite walls. In other words, at the end of the world, in this Finistère where his characters are shaped by both the call of the open sea and the age-old shackles of provincial customs. And it is money that will be the sinews of war. » (Sabine Audrerie, La Croix) « By revisiting the crime novel with great rigor, this young novelist constructs a melancholic work, not without humor. His writing becomes more stripped down, always as effective, precise, visual, with a remarkable economy. » (Isabelle Rüf, Le Temps)
