pickFinished one more before my vacation. This one is very speculative and very good. Many storylines, many different styles, all centered around a flight from Paris to New York that arrives in March 2021 and again in June 2021. A bit of philosophy, really engaging.
Just back from a science-fiction convention. This is my book haul levitating from the airbnb balcony ðŸ˜
pickA neat little blend of genres that borrows heavily from modern serial storytelling - and that is no doubt going to be turned into a show itself. I enjoyed it a lot.
pickI loved this novel translated from the original French. The plot doesn‘t begin to come together until about 40%, but takes off from there like a rocket. Completely bananapants in all the best ways!! ðŸŒðŸ‘–
bailedI don‘t get the fuss around this book. Intersecting story of passengers on a flight that undergoes a mysterious weather-time-physics “anomaly.†Writing is pretty pulpy, w/ lots of mediocre metaphors & standard characters. What could have been an interesting mystery/sci-fi can‘t get momentum because new, unrelated & uninteresting characters introduced every 3 pgs. Maybe earns its Prix G in last 150 pgs? Dunno. I bailed. Saramago Double instead.2020
pick?Prix Goncourt 2020
Je dirais que c'est un mélange entre sci-fi et analyse de la société.
Bref, c'est un bon livre, je trouve le concept intéressant et j'ai pas eu du mal à le lire :)
Je recommande!!
And now for something completely different : I never read the 'big prices' (goncourt is the biggest in French for general literature) but this one is buzzing as it is supposed to be science fiction.. So someone gifted it to me. Now let s see what the buzz is about ;)
