Un roman post-apocalyptique violent, magnifiquement écrit, et qui se lit d'une traite ou presque, sur la dislocation du monde et des croyances, ce qu'on sait de la pitié, de la cruauté et de la compassion et ce qu'on en a oublié.

Not perfect but entertaining
4 étoiles
Unreliable narrators are really tricky to pull off, but it works pretty well in this case. The worldbuilding and protagonists lack a bit of depth, and okay, it doesn't always makes sense all the time, but it is entertaining.

ju a publié une critique de Always North par Vicki Jarrett
Very well written climate change novel
5 étoiles
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.

ju a publié une critique de Biography of X par Catherine Lacey
Brilliant work of fiction non-fiction
5 étoiles
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.
