le passage
Il y a un siècle, le monde a sombré dans le chaos. Une épidémie, dont l’origine ne fut jamais identifiée, a transformé l’homme en mutant et réduit la civilisation à néant. Les derniers représentants de l’humanité vivent en colonie, luttant jour après jour pour survivre. Surgie de nulle part, une jeune fille vient à leur rencontre. Elle semble avoir 14 ans.
Elle en a cent de plus.
Elle est venue sauver le monde.
Le Passage est un énorme pavé qui pourrait être une bonne trilogie (sauf que ce n’est que le premier tome d’une autre trilogie…), et il est très bien. Ce roman était vaguement mentionné dans Station Eleven, et semblait très intéressant. Je l’ai donc récupéré et l’ai dévoré. C’est une dystopie fantastique, à la Stephen King…

biography of x
From one of our fiercest stylists, a roaring epic chronicling the life, times, and secrets of a notorious artist.
When X—an iconoclastic artist, writer, and polarizing shape-shifter—falls dead in her office, her widow, wild with grief and refusing everyone’s good advice, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified. Though X was recognized as a crucial creative force of her era, she kept a tight grip on her life story. Not even CM, her wife, knew where X had been born, and in her quest to find out, she opens a Pandora’s box of secrets, betrayals, and destruction. All the while, she immerses herself in the history of the Southern Territory, a fascist theocracy that split from the rest of the country after World War II, as it is finally, in the present day, forced into an uneasy reunification.
Who knew reading the biography of a dull and supremely unlikeable person, who doesn’t even exist, would be so gripping. I was definitely more taken with the world-building than I was with the characters. I don’t mind a boring narrator, I even think this one was pretty cool in how she was boring – it’s…
