Hervé Le Tellier's Goncourt Prize-winning novel, *The Anomaly*, unfolds a breathtaking premise: a seemingly ordinary Paris-New York flight, Air France 006, experiences severe turbulence, but otherwise lands safely. Three months later, an identical flight carrying the exact same passengers and crew lands, creating an unprecedented global crisis. Each passenger now faces their double, leading to profound existential questions about identity, free will, and reality itself. This ingenious literary thriller blends science fiction, philosophy, and humor, offering a sharp critique of contemporary society through the lens of an impossible, yet deeply human, predicament.
