A review by savaging
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières

5.0

"There comes a point in life where each one of us who survives begins to feel like a ghost that has forgotten to die at the right time"

This book. This beautiful book. What a book to read during this rise of nationalism and appeals for a 'white ethnostate' - to watch how ideologies like this have played out before.

Birds Without Wings is funny and horrible, full of appreciation for regular, poor people, and full of animosity towards the head honchos with their big ideas that bring the most beautiful things to ruin.
