The Theory of Clouds by Stéphane Audeguy
3.0
Meh.
I picked this up cuz one of the main characters is a librarian. Yeah, I'm easy. The story begins quite slowly - and it's a short book. But Audeguy pads the story with a bunch of wonderfully arcane trivia on the history of cloud taxonomy (for real) and meteorological history. Toward the end, a rather harrowing account of surviving Hiroshima in 1946 is thrown in. It works. But it's all a bit late in the day narrative-wise, and our lady librarian protagonist is nothing but a cipher. All I really know about her is that she asks a lot of questions and loves to give blow jobs. Wacky French.
