Belgian writer Thomas Gunzig returns with a puzzling new novel about the meaning of life. A funny and critical vision of our society.
Take a family. A couple with their routine well established after 25 years of marriage, not really happy. A son who has moved in with a confident girlfriend, while he continues to search for himself. A Jewish father who carries the trauma of the Holocaust as a banner.
Challenge this family to face all the issues that plague contemporary Western societies. Debates around gender, identity, ecology, veganism, feminism and patriarchy. Add a young woman. A very beautiful redhead with the look of a porn actress, and who repeats with envy that she is a cow.
You then get a novel that is sometimes confusing, but never boring. A family comedy full of surprises and tasty discussions that makes you laugh a lot and think about what life is, what it means to be happy and how to achieve it.
“Blood of Beasts” Thomas Gunzig was published by Au Diable Vauvert.
Reportage : Nicolas Rocca offers us an original musical story. The alliance of the Parisian group Baeshi Bang and a young collective of traditional Korean music Ip Koa Son. A project carried out remotely. How to compose without meeting or speaking the same language? This is the challenge for both groups. The whole gives a unique mixture, between Pansori, the Korean secular song, jazz, and almost pop.
