The style of a different character being the focus of each chapter is not one I’m a big fan of generally, but other than that this book has a lot going for it - well written with a style just unusual enough to be interesting, empathy for all its characters, telling the story of black British women through several generations, engaging contemporary questions of gender and sexuality in a compelling way. I even misted up a bit on that touching last page, which was unexpected! ( ) Delicioso. Tudo o que quer saber sobre o universo feminino homossexual do mundo artístico de Londres. A escrita é totalmente inovadora. Mas cativante. Entramos na cabeça da autora. Muito bom. O racismo, o machismo e a luta pela sobrevivência estão sempre nas imensas histórias que Bernardine nos conta de forma magistral. Não surpreende ter vencido o Booker prize em 2019. Extraordinary. Will let it settle but this could well be my book of the year....one that practically vibrates with energy, character and humanity. The absence of conventional punctuation might have seemed pretentious in other hands but Bernardine Evaristo isn’t any old pair of hands. Her choices allow the language to flow like poetry...instead, the spaces speak. Her collection of sometimes loosely, sometimes tightly intertwined stories, told from viewpoints along the spectrum of race, time, and gender, are revealed with simultaneous economy and richness. Beautiful, uncomfortable, shattering, wonderful. I really liked the symphony of voices and stories, and pieces of a mosaic slowly coming together. Every story made you see the characters that you already got to know in a slightly different light. It was an interesting shift in perspectives that I enjoyed following. This is also a book it is difficult to be "free" of, I am still hearing all the voices in my head. A great read and a well-deserved Booker. One of the most disappointing things as a reader is to not love a book you were sure you would love. I can see why this won the Booker (and should have been solo). Evaristo uses an interesting structure to tell the life story of twelve diverse women in linked stories/portraits, the writing was clearly good, and it captured a slice of contemporary life we don't usually see. But I was curiously unmoved by what should have been moving stories. I have no explanation, but what other readers found energizing, I found emotionally flat. Perhaps a book to revisit somewhere down the line. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

La 4e de couverture indique : "Amma, Dominique, Yazz, Shirley, Carole, Bummi, LaTisha, Megan devenue Morgan, Hattie, Penelope, Winsome, Grace. Il y a dans ce livre plus de femmes noires que Bernardine Evaristo n’en a vu à la télévision durant toute son enfance. La plus jeune a dix-neuf ans, la plus âgée, quatre-vingt-treize. Douze femmes puissantes, apôtres du féminisme et de la liberté, chacune à sa manière, d’un bout du siècle à l’autre, cherche un avenir, une maison, l’amour, un père perdu, une mère absente, une identité, un genre – il, elle, iel – une existence et, au passage le bonheur. Foisonnant, symphonique, écrit dans un style aussi libre et entraînant que le sont ses héroïnes, le roman de Bernardine Evaristo poursuit son titre : Fille, femme, autre…Douze récits s’entremêlent, se répondent, riment et raisonnent. Douze vies s’épaulent et s’opposent. Chacune des douze est en quête et en conquête, de place, de classe, de traces, d’elle-même, des autres, de cet autrui en elle qui a déjà traversé maintes frontières, et a le front de vouloir encore exploser celles qui restent. « L’ “autre ” du titre peut être interprété de multiples façons. Il pourrait signifier que les femmes sont rendues autres dans certaines situations, du seul fait d’être des femmes, ou que certaines d’entre elles sont considérées comme autres parce qu’elles sont des femmes de couleur, ou queer/trans, ou prolétaires, ou immigrantes.» Bernardine Evaristo " Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
