Brilliant day in

a day of reading
from four books: two read in whole,
of two only parts --

the end of one, the other
started but not yet finished

A tanka for a change.

It had been such a long time since I had last enjoyed a day spent reading, and from such varied books, too!

Sunday list:
Finished Nobel prize winner J-M-G Le Clézio's Chanson bretonne / Un enfant dans la guerre (Song from Brittany / A Child in the War), a memoir of his childhood holidays in Brittany, his paternal family's original land, and of his very early childhood during WWII
Read Amandine Dhée's À mains nues (Bare-handed), a reflection on the couple, sexuality, desire... The author re-examines her life and wonders how we can be ourselves when so much is imposed on us in terms of what one should look like, what one should feel, how one should love and desire. Quite a compelling read.
Read Eva Bester's Léon Spilliaert, a short biography of the Belgian painter and a commentary on a few of his paintings.
Started (well, I’ve already read half of it) Claire-Louise Bennet's Pond. I love the style in which she writes.

Extra: latest in the list.
