«Carnaval noir» or the eternal return of evil

By Jonas Follonier · August 13, 2019
Le dernier roman en date de Metin Arditi, Carnaval noir, est sorti en août 2018 aux Editions Grasset. Racontant sous fond d'histoire à suspense l'éternel retour de la déraison humaine, il peut être lu à tout moment en guise d'avertissement. Et il se pourrait bien que notre époque ne soit pas à l'abri de quelque carnaval infernal.

«Venir grand sans commgules», the freshness of simplicity

By Jonas Follonier · 08 May 2018
It's simple. It's primordially beautiful. It has a soothing, reassuring freshness. This is Myriam Wahli's first novel, published by Editions de l'Aire. Born in 1989 in the Bernese Jura, this young author from French-speaking Switzerland has brought together twenty-one chapters, each a few pages long, to create a work of singular writing. Without commas, as the title suggests, Venir grand sans virgules tells the story of childhood. The author's childhood? No matter. Just childhood, reflected in the writing and the associations of ideas.
