The Anomaly by Hervé Le Tellier is a bestselling, genre-bending novel that won the 2020 Prix Goncourt, blending sci-fi, thriller, and literary fiction. The plot centers on Air France flight 006, which duplicates after a storm, with one plane landing months after the other, forcing passengers to confront their identical doubles and the existential question of who gets to live the single life. The book follows various passengers, including a hitman, a pop star, and a writer, as they navigate this impossible event, exploring themes of free will, identity, and fate through different narrative styles.
