Pickpick

Standing heavy, that‘s what they do, the many security guards in Paris. Standing heavy in stores or near monuments. They are from all parts of former French Africa and they watch.

GauZ sketches a spot-on observation of modern Paris, seen through the eyes of three generations of men from Côte d‘Ivoire trying their luck in the French Capital. It is witty and poignant and it taught me a lot.

Excited to be reading my first book from this years Man Booker International list!! And to fit a French book into my last few days in French Canada. This book is so weird and difficult - having to look up a lot of stuff even tho I supposedly covered literary theory in my degree, I‘m finding it rewarding to read though even if it is heavy going #french #booker #bookerinternational
