About this title

About the Author:

Born in Marseille in 1955, Regis Jauffret is a mind-blowing author whose books are often described as acerbic and written with a scalpel, stripping life to the bone. He has won many prizes in France and his recent novel 'Severe', soon to be a film, will be published by Salammbo Press in 2012.

Review:

'Lacrimosa is marked by Jauffret's own direct involvement in both the real-life events and the narrative, an internal exploration deepened by his own experience.' Russell Williams, TLS 'Regis Jauffret has perhaps written his most accomplished novel, a work of devastating and devastated beauty: an ode to a dead lover.' Le Magazine Litteraire 'Lacrimosa works like a literary boxing match, a heartbreaking masterpiece where emotion is never far from the absurd.' L'Express 'Tragic and caustic.' Telerama 'A merciless tale in which honesty explodes from every page, sometimes to the point of provocation.' Figaro 'A savage epistolary dialogue made for a great novel.' Nouvel Observateur
