THREE BY ECHENOZ, translated from the French by Mark Polizzotti and Linda Coverdale, gathers together three of the most remarkable novels from Jean Echenoz, the “most distinctive French voice of his generation” (The Washington Post), into a single volume. Here you can read an excerpt from BIG BLONDES, the novel that opens this volume, which probes our universal obsession with fame as a television documentary producer tries to track down a renowned singer who has mysteriously disappeared.
