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.
To this family, make it face all the questions that agitate contemporary Western societies. Debates around gender, identity, ecology, veganism, feminism and patriarchy. Add a young woman to it. A very beautiful redhead with the false air of a porn actress, and who repeats at will 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.
Report : Nicholas Rocca offers us an original musical story. The alliance of the Parisian group Baeshi Bang and a young Korean traditional music collective 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, Korean secular song, jazz, and almost pop.
