From A to X: A Story in Letters
From A to X: A Story in Letters | John Berger
1 post | 7 to read
In the dusty, ramshackle town of Suse lives A'ida. Her insurgent husband Xavier has been imprisoned. Resolute, sensuous and tender, A'ida's letters to the man she loves tell of daily events in the town, and of its motley collection of inhabitants whose lives flow through hers. But the town is under threat, and as a faceless power inexorably encroaches from outside, so the smallest details and acts of humanity assume for A'ida a life-affirming significance, acts of resistance against the forces that might otherwise extinguish them.

#TBRtemptation post 2! An epistolary novel set in ramshackle Suse. A'ida writes to her imprisoned lover, Xavier, about the town's daily goings-on. And he replies. A faceless power encroaches from the outside, threatening their community. An exploration into how humanity deals with economic and military imperialism through the these two lovers' eyes. An exquisitely rendered loved story. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
