HARRY QUEBERT: RECENSIONE DI UN BESTSELLER - La verità sul caso Harry Quebert di Joël Dicker

#joeldicker #harryquebert #mystery The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker is a 2012 bestseller, published in Italy in 2013 by Bompiani and translated into over 35 languages ​​worldwide. It is a mystery with strong thriller and noir overtones that tells the story of a cold case: the murder of a 15-year-old girl, Nola Kellergan, who disappeared in 1975. Her bones were found in the garden of the Goose Cove mansion owned by the famous writer Harry Quebert, acclaimed across America as the new Hemingway following the publication of The Origins of Evil. Marcus Goldman, a writer who had a huge success with his first book, a true bestseller, is struggling with his new novel but is suffering from writer's block. When he learns that his mentor, Harry Quebert himself, has been arrested as a suspect in the girl's murder, Marcus begins a parallel investigation, which will lead him deep into the dark heart of Aurora and its inhabitants, leading him to discover a truth that is probably simple, but hidden by a thousand false leads and misleading clues. This is a novel that many acclaim as a masterpiece and that many find horrible. In short, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is a classic divisive book. In this long video, I attempt to analyze both the novel itself and explain my skepticism about the enthusiasm surrounding this Swiss (not Canadian) author and his debut work. Below is the chapter breakdown, which is more necessary this time given the length of my review, and links to the books and topics I reference. Spoiler alerts are clearly marked, so don't worry!
