Praise for Sous le compost:

“A true revelation – this novel is funny, cheeky and worrying all at the same time. Take a generous helping of Jean-Paul Dubois, a dash of Philippe Djian, mix it all together and you get Nicolas Maleski, with his style by turns raw and refined.” — RTL

“What a find!” — Le Parisien

“Original and incredible.” — Lire

Kamel Wozniak is on the run. He rents himself a small, furnished home in a secluded village where he tries to remain invisible until he figures out his next step. But who is he running from and why did we wake up one day and travel 800 kilometers from home, never to go back? What awful crime did he commit?

After his critically acclaimed debut novel Sous le compost (finalist for the 2017 Grand Prix RTL-Lire), Nicolas Maleski delivers a sophomore effort that begins like a Coen brothers movie and continues to unravel the saga of an elusive antihero who is not unlike many of us. In Maleski’s huis clos, he writes in a language that is equal parts dark and caustic.

Nicolas Maleski is the author of Sous le compost (Fleuve, 2017), finalist of the Grand Prix RTL-Lire.
