Description

In the world of French detective fiction, Frédéric Dard—better known to the reading public under the name San-Antonio—is, as critics widely agree, a star of the first magnitude. This is evidenced not only by the impressive number of works he has written and the enormous print runs of his books for France, counted in hundreds of thousands of copies, but above all by the very type of detective fiction he created—so that the speed and intricate twists of the plot, along with an elegantly rough and frivolous manner of storytelling, richly peppered with slang, sometimes border on parody of the traditional police novel.
