I remember by the American writer and artist Joe Brainard is a gem of a novel. The concept is really quite simple: the novel consists entirely of a long list of short sentences that start with "I remember". The effect is mesmerizing.
La ou les tigres sont chez eux (Where Tigers Are At Home) is a kaleidoscopic, multi-strand novel that blends Lévi-Strauss, Indiana Jones, Umberto Eco, Joseph Conrad and Malcolm Lowry.
I was a bit skeptical at first, I don't really know why, perhaps because the title didn't really appeal to me, but the first chapters quickly won me over.
