A fast-paced trip in the dyke San Francisco of the early 90ies that reminded me of my early 20ies in Paris: frienships, drama, sex and too much alcohol in the usual dyke hang-outs (they're all closed now, so maybe it's just a bit of nostalgia). All in all a fun read.

It's not just that the title of this anthology is genius, these are stories of ghosts, encounters, lost lands, resistance and connexion, and they are heartbreaking in a million ways.

Hilarious and frantic, this book grabs you and seem to take you nowhere -- or at least, no further than the East Village, but then, right at the end, the author unties all the threads he had playfully tangled all along, and leaves you breathless and content.

Des journalistes, des marchands d'art, des vieilles et des vieux rebelles, un secret, quelques mystères, et un roman bien fichu pour parler de la place de la femme dans l'art.

Always enchanting, the Singing Hills novellas are little gems of storytelling, you want to read them all quickly and make them last as long as possible at the same time.

Un court essai à l'écriture percutante et drôle, qui remet une pièce dans la machine de l'interprétation des contes pour enfants.

A fun and original take on magic, and the politics and plot are interesting. I don't know if it was the world-building or me, but I was a bit confused at times. A good read nevertheless!

I enjoyed a lot this classic and convoluted mystery, set in a magical empire that has enough weirdness to grab you from the start. Many authors try a bit too hard to be light or funny, it feels effortless here. All in all, a very enjoyable book.
