France

[close] Voici un nouveau groupe français sur Goodreads ! Ici, tu peux parler, jouer, poser des questions, etc. en français ! N'hésite pas à inviter tes amis français de Goodreads pour qu'on puisse créer une petite communauté de français ! (Si tu n'es pas français mais que tu parles français ou que tu apprends le français c'est tout aussi bien !) Bienvenue à tous !

[close] A group to discuss my forthcoming novel, Speaking to No. 4 (New Europe Books, Nov. 29). The book is available for pre-order, and bookstores can already get it in early November, but shipping for individuals will start at the end of November. Where is Alma? A future husband—No. 4—is desperately seeking his fiancée, who has disappeared. To locate her, he is interviewing her three former husbands, her sister, and ex sister-in-law. Could she be hiding in a French monastery? A Japanese shukubo (temple lodging)? Or maybe she is the victim of a belief in a Balkan creation myth? From America to France and Eastern Europe to Japan, this quest for a woman who has disappeared is both a psychological mystery and a meditation on our notions of space and architectural design. As husband No. 3, the Architect, says to husband-to-be No. 4, “Think of Japanese space as a novel in which the main character is absent.”

[close] Je n'arrive pas à trouver un groupe qui me correspond :'( Mon idée était de lire un livre par mois avec un semblant de "reading schedule" par semaine mais soit il y a 1000questions auxquelles il faut répondre, soit les gens sont virés au bout d'une semaine d'inactivité, bon mdrr
