Joël Dicker - The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

BBC World Service - World Book Club, Joël Dicker - The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

Swiss writer Joël Dicker talks about his novel The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.

This month World Book Club are once again part of The Hay Literary Festival in Cartagena, Colombia. Harriett Gilbert and a Festival audience talk to the acclaimed Swiss writer Joël Dicker about his gripping and chart-topping novel The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair. 
 
A famous American writer suddenly finds himself the main suspect in a 30 year-old cold case in his sleepy home town in New England. His former student, a novelist desperate for material, appears as his only saviour.
 
The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair is a fast-paced, tightly plotted, literary thriller, and an ingenious book within a book by a dazzling young writer.
