«Minuit dans le jardin du bien et du mal» is John Berendt's nonfiction chronicle, published by Pocket in paperback, in French.
Set in Savannah (Georgia), it reconstructs the shooting that took place in the city's grand mansion in 1981 and the long trial that followed. Between reportage and social portrait, Berendt combines the case with stories of eccentric neighbors and Old South traditions, with a novelistic pace and documentary basis.
The original English title is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil; the cover of this French edition includes a mention of the movie by Clint Eastwood.
Aimed at readers of true crime and narrative journalism with an interest in the American South.
John Berendt is an American author, known for writing the best-selling non-fiction book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was a finalist for the 1995 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction, and The City of Falling Angels, which tells the story of interesting inhabitants of Venice, Italy, whom Berendt met while living there in the months following a fire which destroyed the historic La Fenice opera house in 1996.
