HHhH Winner of the Prix Goncourt 2009 (Debütroman) and Publishers Publicity Circle: Hardback Fiction Award 2013

[An] extraordinary true story... made still better by the way in which Laurent Binet weaves in his own exploits as researcher and detective to uncover the truth Week

"HHhH is a highly original piece of work, at once charming, moving, and gripping" -- Martin Amis "HHhH blew me away. Binet's style fuses it all together: a neutral, journalistic honesty sustained with a fiction writer's zeal and story-telling instincts. It's one of the best historical novels I've ever come across." -- Brett Easton Ellis "Magnificent ... unsurpassable ... told with grace and elegance ... exerts a hypnotic sway over the reader ... something of a Greek tragedy and of the splendid thriller ... All the details have such persuasive force that they remain indelibly recorded in the memory of the reader" -- Mario Vargas Llosa "By the time I got to the last page of Binet's masterpiece, I had to close my eyes and rethink history. I'm rethinking it still" -- Gary Shteyngart "Laurent Binet has given a new dimension to the non-fiction novel by weaving his writerly anxieties about the genre into the narrative, but his story is no less compelling for that, and the climax is unforgettable" -- David Lodge
