Gabrile
Gabrile | Anne Berest, Claire Berest
7 posts | 6 to read
The story of a passionate love affair that triggered a revolution.An atmospheric, exuberant novel from the best-selling author of The Postcard, Anne Berest, and her sister, Claire Berest, about love and sex, art and revolution, experimentation and creativity, and three young people who changed the world.The year is 1908, the height of the Belle poque, and a brilliant, young French woman named Gabrile, newly graduated from the most elite music school in Europe, meets a volcanic Spanish artist named Francis. Following a whirlwind romance, they marry and fall headlong into a Paris that is experimenting with new forms of living, thinking, and creating. Soon after marrying Francis, Gabrile meets Marcel, another young artist, five years her junior. Soon, Francis, Marcel, and Gabrile are all involved in a fervent affair that will change the course of art history and redefine the avant-garde.As the Belle Epoque gives way to rebellion and revolution, and the world descends into the devastation of World War I, Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, and Gabrile Buffet revolutionize art and open up new ways of seeing and thinking, along the way posing a vital question for their age and ours: what is the connection between new ways loving and new ways of creating?Moving between Paris, New York, Berlin, Zurich, Barcelona, London, and Saint-Tropez, Gabrile is as audacious, uninhibited, intimate, and unforgettable as its central character, the mercurial, pioneering Gabrile Buffet.

Lesliereadsalot @BarbaraBB and I are going to rejuvenate #EuropaCollective in September after camp. Maybe we could start in June with your book? 3w
tpixie @Lesliereadsalot That sounds great! Yes, we could read this in June as a little teaser for the official re- opening in September! ( Hope it doesn‘t interfere with your camp) 3w
tpixie @RowReads1 Have you read it yet? If not, join in June! 3w

BarbaraBB That‘s such a good idea @tpixie @Lesliereadsalot ! We can read this one in June (although I can‘t find a publication date yet for where I live so I hope to be able to get a copy in time) as a kick-off for the #EuropaCollective in September 💃💃 3w
tpixie @BarbaraBB I don‘t know where you live but interestingly, when I bought it through bookshop.org it came to me a couple weeks before the publishing date! I think they charged shipping though. 3w

TheKidUpstairs I'd love to do a buddy read! May would probably be best for me, I'm first on my library's hold list, but the book doesn't get released here until April 22. 2mo
Deblovestoread Yes, please! And May would be great. I can‘t wait to read this book with you all. 2mo
Lesliereadsalot Count me in! 2mo
mcctrish May please, I‘m the same release date wise as @TheKidUpstairs 2mo
Chelsea.Poole I loved The Postcard! I‘ll see if I can get my hands on this to join in 😊 2mo
CBee @tpixie I still very much want to read The Postcard! May or June would be best for me if you end up organizing this ♥️ 2mo
squirrelbrain Yes please! It‘s got an April 22nd release date here in the UK too. 2mo
youneverarrived I‘d join in! 2mo
kspenmoll I would love to join in! 2mo
tpixie @TheKidUpstairs @Deblovestoread @Lesliereadsalot @mcctrish @Chelsea.Poole @CBee @squirrelbrain @youneverarrived @kspenmoll Sounds Great! I got confused on the release date because Bookshop.org has already sent me a notice that it‘s been shipped. But you‘re right it doesn‘t come out until April 22. Since it‘s being released late in the month, do you think it‘ll be easier for everybody to have the book by June instead of May? Decisions!! 😅 2mo
mcctrish I‘m fine with June 2mo
Lesliereadsalot I like June 2mo
lauraisntwilder I'm in! May or June, either one. 2mo
Deblovestoread Sounds great! Thanks! 2mo
