The author had this to say:
"We started out wanting to enjoin the even of Joseph Figoni’s life together with the even of the marvelous designs he created – that testament concord upward a large work: Joseph Figoni, le Grand Couturier de la Carrosserie Automobile (the majority is inwards English). It testament concord upward published simultaneously with The Kellner Affair. But every bit with our previous majority virtually Jacques Saoutchik, we as good wanted to pose that even into relief against the backdrop of significant events that transpired inwards the protagonist’s lifetime. Since Joseph Figoni became involved—albeit peripherally—with the Phill reseau that counted his colleague together with contest Jacques Kellner together with the designer Georges Paulin amid its members, much of this backdrop necessarily concerned the spill of France inwards 1940, the subsequent depict of slice of project by times the Germans, the formation of the resistance grouping together with what happened to it. First we were going to write it into the trunk text of the Figoni book. We earlier long realized that was no good, together with as well as then we decided to write virtually Kellner, Paulin together with Phill every bit a series of interludes inserted inwards the Figoni biography – course of pedagogy of study of similar a novel with two parallel storylines, together with structured inwards such a fashion that they could concord upward read independently. Then the number of interludes started growing. Every 4th dimension a novel dossier came our way, it was clear that the hunt could not stop until we were reasonably for certain inwards that house were no more than to concord upward found. With the dossiers that testament concord upward reproduced inwards an appendix inwards the dorsum of this book, it became clear that the parallel storyline route as good would not work. So we convey decided to seize with teeth the bullet, together with The Kellner Affair testament similar a shot off concord upward a stand-alone book. The Kellner Affair testament both concord upward included every bit a 4th majority with the Figoni book, together with published on its own."
