In 'Doctor No,' Percival Everett introduces us to a brilliant mathematics professor, an expert in nothing and a master at doing nothing. This peculiar protagonist becomes the unexpected partner of an aspiring villain with the ambition to break into Fort Knox. However, the goal is not the gold bars, but a mysterious empty shoebox. Through the voice of this professor with Asperger's syndrome, Everett deploys his characteristic absurd humor to offer a scathing critique of the values of contemporary society. This novel invites reflection on the search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world, highlighting the importance of authentic relationships, however unusual they may be. An agile, intelligent reading full of biting dialogues that provoke both laughter and introspection.
