About this product

Product Information

A man writes an enormous screenplay on the life of Herman Melville. Not a single producer is interested in it. One day, someone gives him the phone number of the great American filmmaker Michael Cimino, legendary director of The Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. A meeting is arranged in New York, and Cimino reads the manuscript. What follows is a series of crazy adventures through Ellis Island, the Musee de la Chasse in Paris, a lake in Italy. We run into Isabelle Huppert, Diana the hunting goddess, a Dalmatian named Sabbat, a diabolical neighbor, and two shady characters with conspicuous mustaches. There's also a pretty PhD student, an unpleasant concierge, and an aggressive ma tre d' who looks like Emmanuel Macron... This improbable, insightful tale bridges the divide between cinema and literature in unexpected ways that are at once gratifying and profound.

Reviews

"Intense...a book of visions, fantasies, and obsessions." -- Le Monde "Written on the razor's edge, in a perpetual tension, this profound and hallucinatory book is a firework." -- Le Canard enchaîné "Crazy, brilliant, addictive, and darkly poetic." -- Le Figaro "Wonderfully mad." -- Le Parisien "A wild novel, a blaze of astounding images." -- L'Obs, Shortlisted for the 2017 Prix Goncourt "A story of madness, art, alcohol and creativity...elegantly translated...vivid." -- New York Times "[A] unique, ecstatic novel." -- Wall Street Journal "The delightfully deluded protagonist of [ Hold Fast Your Crown ] juggles high and pop culture references with aplomb and a light touch...This is a stimulating novel, full of mischief and clever curveballs." -- Publishers Weekly "This wildly ambitious novel audaciously layers on metaphors that explore truth, film and art, and the essence of life." -- Booklist "Undeniably dazzling...a remarkable, sustained, high-wire act, a book that seems constantly to teeter on the edge of disaster without ever quite succumbing. Hold Fast Your Crown thrives on Haenel's buoyant prose." -- New York Journal of Books "Crazy, brilliant, addictive, and darkly poetic." -- Le Figaro "Wonderfully mad." -- Le Parisien "A wild novel, a blaze of astounding images." -- L'Obs "Intense...a book of visions, fantasies, and obsessions." -- Le Monde "Written on the razor's edge, in a perpetual tension, this profound and hallucinatory book is a firecracker." -- Le Canard enchaîné "A literary fever and fervor that speak volumes." -- Lire, "Crazy, brilliant, addictive, and darkly poetic." -- Le Figaro "Wonderfully mad." -- Le Parisien "A wild novel, a blaze of astounding images." -- L'Obs
