Summary/Abstract: Herve Le Telly’s novel The Anomaly brings together many characters of different ages, with different sexual, religious, social and professional identities on an Air France flight from Paris to New York in March 2021 to confront them with the anomaly and the absurd. Experienced through the prism of the personal confrontation of the characters with the uncertainty and threat of an anti-utopian world that does not guarantee security in events, meanings and facts, but provokes, surprises and frightens with the paradoxical doubling of two radically different fields at different times, but striking identical. The novel, which won the French Goncourt Prize, aroused the interest of readers and critics and was translated into many languages to “circulate” in the world, becoming a convincing proof of the life of the postmodern novel in the 21st century.
