Playground for Misunderstanding - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Playground for Misunderstanding takes a cubic look at the many fault lines of communication, male-female, young-old, French-American, wrapped around a police investigation in Paris, 2009. Is it murder, or is it not? An American exchange student and his French girlfriend trip into the investigation and its subsets: flashmobs in the Luxembourg Gardens, anti-immigrant rallies by the mosque, arson-by-developer for prime real estate, and an international Nietzsche hacker who steals electronic advertising space to try to get people to think, instead of consume. A professor of the Ancien Régime is confronted by the sublime of technology, while clinging to the beauty of rationality. Through it all, police commandant Jean-Loup Chastel conducts the investigation with a certain edge of experience. He trusts his instincts, but relies on the evidence. And there’s never enough.
