«La Dame dans l'auto avec des lunettes et un fusil» is the suspense novel by Sébastien Japrisot in paperback (311 pages, in French).
A woman drives on an impromptu trip with her boss's car and, along the way, meets people who seem to recognize her from places she has never visited. She soon realizes she is mixed up in a crime she does not remember and that the clues point to her, in a spiral where the line between guilty and victim blurs.
The work was originally published in 1966; this edition corresponds to volume 1223 of the Folio collection.
For readers of crime fiction and psychological thrillers, especially those who enjoy stories of mistaken identity and French intrigue.
Sébastien Japrisot was a French author, screenwriter and film director. His pseudonym was an anagram of Jean-Baptiste Rossi, his real name. Renowned for subverting the rules of the crime genre, Japrisot broke down the established formulas "into their component pieces to re-combine them in original and paradoxical ways." Some critics argue that though Japrisot's work may lack the explicit experimental element present in the novels of some of his contemporaries, it shows influences of structuralist theories and the unorthodox techniques of the New Novelists.
