Il paraît que les lectrices et lecteurs potentiels qui lisent les sites voient d'abord le nombre d'étoiles. Vraisemblable, quoique triste, mais donc, soit, 5 étoiles.
A lire. Absolument.

Reij Rosello and 899 other people liked Meike's review of Flesh:
Flesh by David Szalay
"Now Winner of the Booker Prize 2025
Oooohh, this is a tough one: I can see what others appreciate about the book, but if you make me plough through an intentionally non-immersive novel, I need more meat on that bone. Szalay tells the story of István, " Read more of this review »

If Flesh is adapted into a film, it will likely come with a long list of trigger warnings--ranging from smoking and alcohol consumption to violence, death, murder, war, and sexual abuse. The story, however, is told by an impassive omniscient narrator ...more

Perhaps a novel with the same temporality as grief.

Two brothers have lost their father. Grief makes them worse, better, or better and worse, over time, the time it takes for us to read the book.

At first, slow and frustrating, then fast and rather dis

Sylvain Tesson
“La vie apparut et se distribua à la conquête de la Terre. Le temps s'attaquait à l'espace. Ce fut la complication. Les êtres se ramifièrent, se spécialisèrent, d'éloignèrent les uns des autres, chacun assurant sa perpétuation par la dévoration des autres. L'Evolution inventa des formes raffinées de prédation, de reproduction et de déplacement. Traquer, piéger, tuer, se reproduire fut le motif général. [...] Le soleil avait déjà pris feu. Il fécondait la tuerie de ses propres photons et il mourrait en s'offrant. La vie était le nom donné au massacre en même temps que le requiem du soleil. Si un Dieu était vraiment à l'origine de ce carnaval, il aurait fallu un tribunal de plus haute instance pour le traduire en justice.
Hier, l'homme apparut, champignon à foyer multiple. Son cortex lui donna une disposition inédite: porter au plus haut degré la capacité de détruire ce qui n'était pas lui-même tout en se lamentant d'en être capable. A la douleur s'ajoutait la lucidité. L'horreur parfaite.”
Sylvain Tesson, La Panthère des neiges
