‘Where do you start someone’s story when every life has more than one thread and what we call birth is not the only beginning, nor is death exactly an end?’

The Memory Monster by an Israeli writer Yishai Sarid.

The German Room by Carla Maliandi published by @charcopress is a beautifully written novel and skilfully translated by Frances Riddle.

The Disaster Tourist by the Korean writer Yun Ko-eun is a fascinating, ambitious and unpredictable story. I have immensely enjoyed reading this book.

Internat [‘Boarding school’; also published in English under the title 'The Orphanage’] by the Ukrainian writer Serhiy Viktorovych Zhadan (Serhij Zadan)

💜 'There' s a moment at the end of every day, where the world falls away and you are left alone with your thoughts. A reckoning. (...)'.

A Bookshop in Algiers by the Algerian writer Kaouther Adimi is a literary feast. This book might be small in size, just under 150 pages, but it is dense with capitavating literally anecdotes related to both Algerian and French titans of literature as well as with many unique perspectives on the history and culture of Algeria throughout the 20th century. This book offers a moving portrayal of Algeria, its capital, Algiers and its inhabitants.

I would like to share with you a lit bit about one of my favourite writers who is almost unknown these days to the anglophone audience. I hope that some of my French followers might have read some of the books by this remarkable author of a profound sensitivity.
