Picking this book up again. Sad this #EuropaEditions isn‘t as good as I hoped

I‘m glad that we are going to continue #EuropaCollective
To celebrate their books!

The Days of Abandonment was the first book published

Gleefulreader I am SO excited to be doing the #europacollective! I love what they publish. Like NYRB or Charco or Archipelago… just a bit more variety than traditional publishing houses these days. 1mo

Chapter 8: The Shadow Is More Beautiful Than The Academy
🎈For the 1st time, a painter has painted something that doesn‘t represent ANYTHING. Before Picasso. Before Kandinsky.
In which Francis starts losing his vision & and seems to spend all this time in opium dens…

Mehso-so

#EuropaEditions are usually hits for me but this one fell short. I also had such high hopes after loving The Postcard by the same author (one of the two). I just couldn‘t get over how selfish the titular character was presented…by her great grandchildren no less! Obsessed with her husband and they‘re both into the art scene around the turn of the century but totally uninterested in their offspring. Lots of name dropping and little parenting.

BarbaraBB That last sentence says it all 🤣 1mo
squirrelbrain I agree entirely! 1mo
Lesliereadsalot You‘d really have to be like these people to actually like these people! 1mo
tpixie Well said! 1mo

Lesliereadsalot You can do it! 2mo
tpixie ? I do find it interesting that Gabriële‘s maternal aunt, Alphonsine is friends with female painter Berthe Moriset, who was married to Manet‘s brother, Eugène & was a famous Impressionist painter. 2mo
