Reviews

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 5 out of 5]

I finished Scènes de la vie future and called my mom, which tells you something. Cohen, Jean-Louis writes about family in a way that feels lived-in, awkward silences and all. It's sentimental here and there, and I'm fine with that. Great for anyone with complicated relatives, skip if sappy isn't your thing.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 5 out of 5]

What Cohen, Jean-Louis nails in Scenes of The World To Come is how system managers use corporate jargon to disguise straightforward exploitation as progress.
