While HHhH is not a mere clinical documentation of historical facts, neither is it a wild dramatisation. Based on a relatively unheard-of assassination known as ‘Operation Anthropoid’ which took place in World War II Prague, Binet follows, through his own research, two Czechoslovakian soldiers from their nomination to their deaths. I say novel, but it is not so simple as that. HHhH is the first novel of French writer, Laurent Binet. It’s all been pretty easy to lump into a category of sorts. I’ve had a bit of intellect, a bit of memoir, a bit of classic fiction, a bit of shit pop-literature, a bit of it all. At the beginning of the year, I set myself a challenge of reading on average, one book each week on top of uni work.
