Photojournalist and many other things in -ist.

Un joli petit roman qui n'évite malheureusement pas certains clichés binaires (ville = béton = nul, cabane = nature = bien)

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.

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.

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.
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.

Une stupéfiante enquête sur un groupuscule maoïste, son fonctionnement et l'emprise de son leader charismatique. On voit comment l'emprise fonctionne, et la plongée idéologique, la radicalité qui en ont découlé. Vraiment fascinant.

A gorgeous book, I hadn't annotated a book so much in a while. It's thoughtful, imaginative and highly political.
