L’extraordinaire Voyage du Fakir Qui Etait Resté Coincé dans une Armoire IKEA. Translation? The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe. Maybe the best. book. title. ever.
It’s definitely going on our Books That Would Win ‘Best Title’ bookshelf.
When you’re a fakir (Indian con artist), cruising Paris with only one goal (IKEA), your life is full of surprises.
This is a fable set in our super-connected global economy, filled with equal parts biting satire and heartfelt observation. Different than anything we’ve read before, and beautifully translated from the French by Sam Taylor.
