«La dame dans l'auto avec des lunettes et un fusil» is a suspense novel by Sébastien Japrisot, published by France Loisirs in hardback (216 pages).
Dany Longo is a young blonde, short-sighted and passionate woman who crosses the south of France in a stolen Thunderbird. She herself couldn't say where she's heading or what drives her: a psychological thriller where the truth seems to hide at every stage of the journey.
The novel was originally published in 1966, the year it received the Prix d'Honneur.
For lovers of crime fiction and French mystery from the sixties.
Sébastien Japrisot was a French author, screenwriter and film director. His pseudonym was an anagram of Jean-Baptiste Rossi, his real name. Renowned for subverting the rules of the crime genre, Japrisot broke down the established formulas "into their component pieces to re-combine them in original and paradoxical ways." Some critics argue that though Japrisot's work may lack the explicit experimental element present in the novels of some of his contemporaries, it shows influences of structuralist theories and the unorthodox techniques of the New Novelists.
