«Vous plaisantez, monsieur Tanner» is the humorous novel by Jean-Paul Dubois, published by Points in paperback (199 pages, in French).
Paul Tanner leads a peaceful existence until he inherits the family house and decides to restore it. The project turns into a nightmare: deranged bricklayers, thieving roofers and mad electricians seem to have conspired to make his life miserable. Jean-Paul Dubois thus composes a chronicle of an exhausting struggle, a gallery of very human characters and a tale of black humor about a cursed renovation.
This novel was originally published in French in 2006; the Points paperback edition dates from 2007.
For readers fond of contemporary French fiction and black humor, with everyday situations taken to the extreme.
Jean-Paul Dubois is a French journalist and author. He won the Prix Goncourt in 2019 for Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon, a novel told from the perspective of a prisoner looking back on life. The jury compared Dubois to John Irving and William Boyd, who wrote books that were both popular and critical successes.
