I'm Gone

First US edition. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 195. Sky-blue paperboards, lettered in silver to spine.

Translated from the French by Mark Polizzotti. Originally published as Je m'en vais by Les Éditions de Minuit (1999). Its UK publication by Harvill featured the title I'm Off.

Winner of the 1999 Prix Goncourt. Past winner of the Prix Medicis and the European Literature Prize. A bitingly humorous look at a midlife crisis, a suspenseful crime caper, and a witty, satirical foray into corruption in the international art market, all rolled into one. "[T]he most distinctive voice of his generation... the master magician of the contemporary French novel." –The Washington Post
