I liked this but I struggled with whether it was a novel or NF. I didn‘t like the authors‘ comments at the end of each chapter, they really drew me out of the ‘story‘.
I also found it frustrating that they kept saying ‘we don‘t know anything about Gabriële‘s life‘ - not in the past tense ‘we didn‘t know but we‘ve learned‘ but in the present so it read like ‘we still don‘t know‘.
A soft pick for me.
My Buddy read stack is a bit bonkers right now with #europacollective #camplitsy #sundaybuddyread #littensloveromance #littensloveacotar which should maybe morph into #littenslovesjm and #hashtagbrigade I also have an audio book on the go just for fun. They all have different due dates so it‘s manageable and most are light and easy
A little late to the party but a slower start this morning allowed me to dip into this before I got my day started. Very happy to be back with the #europacollective!
I‘ve gone down a rabbit hole back tracking the chapters I‘ve read so far @tpixie ( I‘m about to start chapter 9) Thank you so much for mentioning this 😘 #europaeditions #europacollective
Chapter 5: Man And Woman By The Sea
I find the book well written & interesting but Francis Picabia & Gabriële Buffett are not very likable.
I find interesting what authors think of them.
At the end of Chapter 4, one relates responsibility for them & the other seeks their approval.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I loved reading it because it is so well written and I was intrigued by the main characters and the way they chose to live their lives. However, there‘s been written a lot about the art scene in Paris; parts of the book felt to me like I‘d read them before.
I‘d wanted to read more about Gabriele and Francis themselves instead of them crossing all over Europe and NYC ⬇️
Chapter 2
Young Girl In Paradise

Chapter 1: Encirclement
Starting Gabriële for #EuropaCollective
It‘s an interesting concept to have each chapter be named after Francis Picabia‘s artwork
I haven‘t read a book in first person tense in a long time. It‘s an interesting concept that they wanted it to be a “living tense“.
