Description and Reader Names: Laurent Binet’s debut novel 'HHhH,' a remarkable and surprising fast-paced World War II novel, won the Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman in 2010 and was adapted for the stage and performed at the Théâtre de la Commune in Aubervilliers in 2012. It has been short-listed for several prizes, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, and was named a New York Times Notable Book of 2012.

HHhH tells the story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the 'Butcher of Prague.' In addition to being a gripping story, it explores the lure of narrative in writing history, the struggle between memory and fact, and the nature of historical truth.
