pickIn this novella, based on a true story, Éric Faye recounts beautifully and poetically how the main character, a single man in his fifties, discovered a woman was using his place when he was absent...
The themes of solitude, intrusion, and meaning of life are very well explored despite the brievety of the book.
Lunes=lectura according to my plan autodidacto de español pero ¿por qué elegí un cuento de Julio Cortázar? ??
so-soThe genre is definitely 'weird sci-fi'.
A dystopian novel where a scientific genius from Iceland changes the world with his breakthrough tech. A lot of original ideas in here but they don't form enough of a coherent story line for me.
I liked the idea of becoming a literal shooting star instead of being buried after death.
Skyr has been eaten in honor of Iceland month :D

pickThis book was written in 1937 by Belgian #feminist author, Madeleine Bourdouxhe. Translated from French by Faith Evans. The story is a timeless "she loves him, but he loves another, who loves someone else" tale. It rings just as true today as it did 80+ years ago. The 'Femme', Elisa, stands by her man and her family throughout her husband's affair, but at what cost? Is the cold, empty heart of her husband enough for Elisa?

This book was written over 80 years ago and is still relatable today. The story takes place in pre WW2 Belgium and is the story of a love triangle of Elisa, who is the wife of Gilles, who has an affair with Victorine, who also happens to be Elisa's youngest sister. Madeleine Bourdouxhe is a Belgian author whose rise to success was delayed due to WW2. She never stopped writing, and her work was rediscovered in the 1980s.
