«Une collection très particulière» is a short story collection by Bernard Quiriny, published by Seuil in paperback (184 pages, in French).
The bibliophile dandy Pierre Gould opens his library, a cave of curiosities: books that are forgotten as they are read, volumes that hide others, manuals of poisoned cooking. The whole is a homage to unusual literature. Two series are interspersed: satirical portraits of current excesses and a guide to ten imaginary cities.
Published in 2012 in Seuil's Cadre rouge collection. Winner of the Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire 2013 in the French-language short fiction category.
For readers of short stories with humour and fantasy, and for those who enjoy tales about books, libraries and bibliographic rarities.
Bernard Quiriny is a Belgian writer and literary critic. He is also a professor of public law at the University of Burgundy, having published numerous scholarly articles in the legal field since receiving his doctoral dissertation in 2005.
