Cinfhen
Heatwave: A Novel | Victor Jestin

Pickpick

#ARC #NetGalley #FrenchTranslation For a very slim book author Victor Jestin manages to pack quite a lot into this taut story of isolation, loneliness and teenage sexual awakenings. Set over the course of 24 hours, we come to find Leonard, a boy who may or may not have killed another boy. It‘s definitely a book I want to discuss further.

"But in these tatters of lives and scraps of disputes, found here [the archives] in bulk, we can find both human defiance and human misery."

I love the imagery Farge creates of research and its processes.
