Review Quotes: "An inquiry that poignantly revives the valor and tragedy of World War II...tender and precise...a stripped-down labor of love...The brief life that Mr. Le Tellier carefully reconstructs illuminates an era when so many ordinary people were called on to be extraordinary." --Wall Street Journal
"A stirring tale of valor and romance, death and duty during the darkest days of World War II." --Los Angeles Times "Le Tellier...blends autobiography, biography, and fiction in this intriguing story of a French Resistance fighter...It's an arresting testament to courage and humanity in the face of unspeakable evil." --Publishers Weekly "A historical detective story...fascinating." --Asymptote Journal "In Le Tellier's work of autofiction, as in Marceline Loridan-Ivens's But You Did Not Come Back, one man's life and sacrifice provide some illumination of history, humanity, and, ultimately, more heartbreak." --Library Journal "Extremely moving." --Le Monde Praise for The Anomaly "Enthralling...a profoundly affecting examination of free will, fate, reality, and the meaning of existence, cloaked in a high-concept plot that could have come from The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror...exists in that most excellent of Venn diagrams, where high entertainment meets serious literature." --New York Times, Best Thrillers of the Year "With its elegant mix of science fiction and metaphysical mystery, Le Tellier's thriller is...a flight of imagination you'll be rolling over in your mind long after deplaning." --Washington Post
