Murder Chez Proust: An Arcade Mystery Paperback
Seller: ThatsTheCatsMeow, Goldsboro, NC, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. When the self-appointed directress of the Marcel Proust Association is found dead on the eve of the society's annual convention, Inspector Jean-Pierre Foucheroux is called in from Paris to investigate. He soon discovers that the victim was as ruthlessly ambitious as the pretentious highbrows on his list of suspects, and that almost everyone who knew her had a motive to kill. There's a famous Proust scholar who plagiarizes his students' work, an Ivy League professor more interested in sex than in literature, and an arrogant viscount from one of France's oldest families. But there's also Gisele, the amiable assistant to the victim, whose royal blue eyes dazzle Inspector Foucheroux. Could she have had a motive as well? The subject of an international scandal for its merciless treatment of some of the world's most sensitive egos, "Murder Chez Proust" combines a withering satire of the literary and academic elite with the Old World charm of a deftly crafted Agatha Christie-style whodunit. A distinguished Proust scholar, Estelle Monbrun, aka Elyane Dezon=Jones, is associate professor of French at Washington University in Saint Louis. Foxing on page edges. Pages are clean and free of any markings and highlighting. Seller Inventory # 1054
