«Les marins perdus» is the crime novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, published by J'ai lu in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Three sailors survive aboard the cargo ship Aldébaran, stranded in the port of Marseille. Captain Abdul Aziz, the Greek Diamantis and the Turk Nedim share memories, doubts and fears while waiting for the ship to sail again. The city, with its encounters and heartbreaks, mirrors lives marked by exile.
The work was originally published in 1997; this edition appeared in 2002.
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and noir who want a story with a port setting and characters marked by waiting.
Jean-Claude Izzo was a French poet, playwright, screenwriter, and novelist who achieved sudden fame in the mid-1990s with the publication of his three neo-noir crime novels Total Chaos, Chourmo, and Solea, featuring as protagonist ex-cop Fabio Montale, and set in the author's native city of Marseille. All have been translated into English by Howard Curtis.
