Après avoir adoré La migration annuelle des nuages de Premee Mohamed, je me suis plongée avec délice dans la suite, Ce qui se dit par la montagne, également publié chez L’Atalante. Formidable suite, ce court récit prolonge l’histoire de Reid et questionne à nouveau brillamment la notion de libre arbitre. En opposant individualisme et vie en communauté, bien commun et privilège, ce second opus offre une critique plus incisive que le premier. J’ai un petit coup de coeur pour ce tome 2 qui donne soif de révolte. Et je vous en parle plus en détails sur le blog : https://yuyine.be/node/1315

Ce qui se dit par la montagne

Ce qui se dit par la montagne est un court récit écrit par Premee Mohamed et publié aux éditions L’Atalante dans la collection La dentelle du cygne. Il fait directement suite à la novella La migration annuelle des nuages dont il prolonge l’intrigue.

Dernièrement j’ai fait un petit détour du côté des thrillers pour un huis-clos psychologique signé par Yana Vagner, l’autrice de Vongozero. Intitulé Le Tunnel, traduit par Raphaëlle Pache et publié chez Robert Laffont, c’est une petite brique de plus de 500 pages dans un tunnel autoroutier totalement isolé et fermé. L’ambiance étouffante est maîtrisée, la tension grandissante et les personnages, tous détestables, sont progressivement dirigés par leur peur. Malgré quelques défauts, c’est un roman très réussi qui possède un sous-texte savoureux.
Je vous en parle plus longuement sur le blog: https://yuyine.be/node/1313

Publié en mars aux éditions Robert Laffont dans la collection La Bête noire, Le Tunnel est le nouveau roman traduit de l’autrice russe Yana Vagner à qui on doit notamment l’excellent Vongozero aux regrettées éditions Mirobole.

Another nice review of the new book! I loved that she enjoyed The Height of Artifice, my most recent story in the collection: "...a man addresses his younger life in theatrical circles, and ponders why why the woman he loved never loved him back. Delightfully sad. And kind of funny at the end."

Terry Tyler's review of The Gates of Polished Horn

4/5: My favourite genre to read is imagined views of our near future, so many of the stories in this speculative/science fiction collection hit the spot for me.

Hitting People in the Feels:
A quick roundup of some of the lovely reviews of The Gates of Polished Horn.

I'm really touched that this collection is working for readers. I was nervous to put some of these more serious and literary stories together with my usual blend of SFF and humor. But I guess it works. Thanks to @ilanderz for believing in the project!

Another lovely review of The Gates of Polished Horn! This book felt risky to me, because many of these stories are quite serious in tone, so it's nice to see long-time readers of my work appreciate it!

Slide showing cover art of The Gates of Polished Horn by Mark A. Rayner and a quote: A wonderful surprise! Rayner is showing his prowess as a genuine storyteller. The stories are at times subtle, at times dark, at times heartwarming and heartbreaking. He's got skills, and we as readers get to reap the benefits. Scott, on Goodreads markarayner.com/gates

Scott's review of The Gates of Polished Horn

5/5: Being accustomed to Mr. Rayner's flash fiction, which has helped grow his legend as a master of humor, absurdity, and satire, this short story collection was a wonderful surprise.

Rayner’s “The Gates of Polished Horn” Takes Us to Places Strange and Familiar

Infused with comic insight and tragic vision, the stories in The Gates of Polished Horn invite readers into new realities that touch on our shared humanity.

I'm re-reading 1984 and it feels very relevant to now. Orwell's #book isn't really #scifi, it's really a book about oppression and propaganda.

I'll do a blog on it I think. There are things to say about it.

There are socialists who say Orwell wasn't really a socialist, and they are probably right, but what Orwell gets so very right is how censorship works. By removing references to better things, people have no means to criticise current things. You can't say the current government is bad if you have no proof things were ever better.

As Orwell says: Who controls the past controls the future.

Ce mercredi signait le retour des éditions de L’Homme sans nom en librairie avec le tout nouveau roman d’Adrien Mangold, Passé sans silence. Fan de l’auteur de la première heure, j’avais à la fois très hâte de lire ce titre mais aussi beaucoup de craintes. Mais c’est une vraie réussite! Inclassable, difficile à expliquer, très humain, Passé sans silence est un roman remarquable et touchant qui m’aura emportée sans faillir. A la fois enquête, anticipation, hommage à la création artistique et récit sur la perte de mémoire, c’est un texte multiple et surprenant.

Et je vous en parle plus en détails sur le blog: https://yuyine.be/node/1309

I've always admired Italo Calvino, particularly his experimental novel, Invisible Cities. So much so that one of those cities inspired one of the stories in the new book!
