Réflexions intéressantes (sur l'amour la vie etc avec une perspective politisée) mais narration assez méta/perchée, pas évident à lire (c'est le but I guess mais faut s'accrocher, m'a pris bcp trop longtemps à lire)

Thanks again, Canadian booksellers.
And how vindicating to see my original expression "as loud as the sun" finally printed somewhere

📖Review: Participation by Anna Moschovakis
Thank you to @zgstories and @bookhugpress for this book in return for my honest review.
I was intrigued by the premise of Participation - a dystopian exploration of love through two rival groups. However, the style of the book was not the right fit for me. I found the nonlinear storytelling a bit too esoteric for me, but I can see how the short chapters and suspense created through limited details could create intrigue for the right reader. It is possible that I don’t have enough philosophical background to truly appreciate the story and the existential inquiry of the characters. It is creative and interesting, but the style and story was not a good fit for me.
