Recensione:
L'autore:
‘Brilliant...A diabolical thriller that echoes the best suspense of Patricia Highsmith with a cheeky nod to Dostoyevski, “The Execution” is a remarkably accomplished debut heralding the arrival of a noteworthy talent.’ Publishers’ Weekly
‘You are thrown headlong into a compulsive world of moral ambiguity right at the outset of “The Execution”...Wilcken refuses to judge Matthew for his behaviour, and this distance gives the novel a beguiling and thought-provoking ambivalence.’ Literary Review
‘An impressive and sure-footed debut...Wilcken’s tight, energetic prose keeps the pages turning.’ Daily Mail
‘Wilcken, who lives in Paris, has chosen the extremely French subject of murder and adultery...The tone, which in its fatalism could be called existential, could also, in its acceptance of the way the world and emotions work, be called wise. Through this tone and elegant patterning, “The Execution” transcends genre.’ Observer
‘Taut, menacing, full of sinister beguilements. And unsettlingly shrewd.’ Will Eaves, author of ‘The Oversight’
Hugo Wilcken is in his thirties and British-Australian. He lives in Paris, where he has worked as a writer since 1990.
