a publié une critique de The Dragonfly Gambit par A. D. Sui

A. D. Sui: The Dragonfly Gambit (Paperback, 2024, Neon Hemlock Press)

Not perfect but entertaining

Very well written climate change novel

A climate thriller and anticipation novel, Always North is really well written, with enough poetry, vivid action and complex characters to embark the reader and take them wherever the story goes. And it never goes where it would be predictable -- only the climate catastrophe is.

a publié une critique de Biography of X par Catherine Lacey

Catherine Lacey: Biography of X (Paperback, Picador)

Brilliant work of fiction non-fiction

This novel has pretty much everything: an alternate history setting that is at times omnipresent and a detail at others ; a mysterious contemporary artist ; many LGBTQ+ characters ; drama and love. It weaves brilliantly facts and fiction, real artists and writers (oh hello David Bowie & Susan Sontag) and completely imaginary characters (or are they?), and manages to be serious with obvious satirical elements. Very enjoyable.
