Birth of a bridge
This is my first real shot
c ow ur this literary season! An intelligent text, sentences structured as scaffolding going up, going up .... Maylis Kerangal of contemporary writing with a pen, it glides over the paper with ease. The characters and landscapes born from reading long sentences and rich, but not once bombastic. That's what makes it a modern writer. Modernity also the theme chosen for this novel, the construction of a bridge, a marvel of human ingenuity. The rhythm of this site titan men and women (albeit in extreme minority, but still) meet, work a full year to release this super-structure of the earth. In the background of these characters, a reflection on ecology, the consequences of progress on eco-systems, the megalomania of man when he falls into the clutches of power and money.
breathtaking, contemporary, profound and ... very feminine.
