Books like Exquisite corpse by Pénélope Bagieu
Zoe is not the intellectual type, which explains why she fails to recognize world‑famous author Thomas Rocher when she walks into his apartment. Rocher, who is supposed to be dead, has actually faked his death years ago to escape critics and is now profiting by releasing his new work as "lost manuscripts" in partnership with his editor and former wife, Agathe. Zoe has little knowledge of Balzac or Batman, but she will have to quickly learn to navigate the literary scene—because she is sitting on the literary scandal of the century.
