I haven't really been on here the last few months. In large part because I've been working on a book. I've been writing the book since the summer, but only just recently finished it, and put it up for people's reading pleasure.

C'est mon coup de coeur de novembre.

Dans ce recueil de nouvelles, nous suivons 5 personnages féminins qui se trouvent à un croisement de leur vie. Elles doivent chacune prendre une ou plusieurs décisions qui aura une conséquence dans leur vie.
J'ai apprécié que chacun des personnages féminins soit, d'une façon ou une autre, une hérétique (et pas juste celle de la nouvelle éponyme). Chacune d'entre elle va aller à l'encontre de quelque chose (sa religion, ses valeurs, la société dans laquelle elle vit...) pour prendre cette décision.
J'ai aimé toutes les nouvelles mais j'ai versé une petite larme à celle de la maman qui accepte le choix de carrière de sa fille.
Becky Chambers est une excellente autrice. Elle le prouve encore dans ces novellas. Elles exhultent tant d'émotions et de réflexion.
Si vous n'avez pas encore lu cette autrice, je vous la conseille plus que fortement !

La collection de novellas RéciFs des éditions Argyll regorge de pépites. Et "Colorer le monde" en est une parfaite illustration. Dans ce recueil, l’autrice chinoise Mu Ming nous propose deux nouvelles axées notamment sur les nouvelles technologies, le langage, l’art, et notre perception du monde. Passionnant !

TWO INTERTWINED THRILLERS, one set in the near past and one in the near future, are high-adrenaline pageturners that also serve as meditations on identity, perception, the power of technology, and Japan’s place in the world. Thoughtful fun. A MINUS

Envy by Yuri Olesha

Envy by Yuri Olesha is a satirical novel that explores the tensions between the old and new Soviet society through the relationship between two main characters: Andrei Babichev, a successful and confident Soviet food industry manager, and Nikolai Kavalerov, a bitter and envious young man whom Babichev takes in. The novel contrasts Babichev’s embodiment of Soviet ideals—progress, collectivism, and industrial success—with Kavalerov’s disillusionment, individualism, and sense of alienation. Through Kavalerov’s envy and resentment, Olesha critiques the emotional and psychological costs of Soviet modernization and the loss of individual identity in a society driven by collective goals.
