«La dame dans l'auto avec des lunettes et un fusil» is the suspense novel by Sébastien Japrisot, published by France Loisirs/Denoël in paperback.
Dany Longo, a young blonde and shortsighted woman, drives across the south of France in a stolen Thunderbird to run an errand for her employer and his wife. She soon becomes caught up in baffling incidents; no one, not even she, knows where she is heading or why. A suspense plot with unexpected twists and a noir tone.
The work was originally published in 1966 and won the Prix d'Honneur; this French edition is from 2008.
For lovers of mystery and classic French thrillers from the sixties.
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.
