Marc Levy was invited to Yann Barthès' set this Friday, April 12. He discussed the reasons why he moved to the United States.
The novelist released his new work, entitled The Symphony of Monsters, on November 9. He also returned to his first publication, in 2000 published by Robert Laffont opposite Yann Barthès. The author said that he never had a big enough ego for it to hurt him so much when his book was published. He said he left France for fear of the reactions he would get from people who had read his book. He added that he did not want this notoriety, which was the only reason he left. The book is about the terrible kidnappings of Ukrainian children by the Russians. It is Levy's 25th book, and his first to be published in English. The Symphony of Monsters is published by Simon & Schuster, priced £16.99 (with p&p) and £12.95 (with Kindle).
