Jérôme Leroy's New Novel 'Die kleine Faschistin' Satirizes Far-Right Politics
French writer Jérôme Leroy, born 1964 in Rouen, has published a new crime novel titled 'Die kleine Faschistin' (The Little Fascist). The book blends reality and fiction with bitter irony, absurd details, and satirical sharpness to depict tactics of Donald Trump and European right-wing movements. Leroy, who gained wider recognition in Germany in 2017 with his award-winning novel 'Der Block' (The Block), continues his exploration of right-wing extremism, terrorism, and political system impotence. In 'Die kleine Fascistin', the French Republic is portrayed as fractured: demonstrations, strikes, and factory occupations overwhelm the police. The story centers on a president referred to as 'the Ve' (likely 'le Ve' for Emmanuel Macron). Leroy's work warns of identitarian thug groups and political escalation.
