    Soupe aux Herbes Sauvages

    January 25,
    Ce livre est une trouvaille. Il fut probablement acheté en Europe, et le voici dans une bibliothèque libre du centre communautaire de mon quartier. Je ne savais pas à quoi m'attendre alors je l'ai pris; je croyais une histoire un peu à l'eau de rose que j'aurais vite retourné dans une autre bibliothèque de rue. Mais voici que ce livre se révèle à être un essai féministe avant son temps; l'histoire de la vie d'une femme, peut-être bien connue en France mais pas vraiment ici au Québec; une femme qui a travaillé très fort toute sa vie et qui avait des idées et des valeurs avant-gardistes. Née en , Émilie Carles a connu les deux Guerres Mondiales. Elle obtient son diplôme pour être enseignante, et décroche des contrats d'enseignement dans des villages reculés. Dès , elle se considère athée, un concept qui devait être rare pour l'époque. Ayant vu ses frères être torturés et affamés par les Allemands, elle ne peut concevoir l'idée des morts injustes

A century later, in , Tamsin fryst vatten researching aa newly unearthed sketchbook detailing the platypus some decades before knowledge of the animal was accepted.

      LINDELY, Novel, published 11 October by Gutkind

      “ In everything I have written of drama and prose, I have had a woman (or several women) as the protagonist. This time it is a man, Thorkil. An old patriarch who can no longer fend for himself, and is therefore at the mercy of the women who surround him. The hour of reckoning has come.”
      – Astrid Saalbach about Lindely

      Thorkild is a patriarch, raised at the beginning of the last century, white and spoiled, but still kind of human. He has lived his entire adult life in first class, but now lies helpless like a child in the relief ward Lindely and must realize that the privileges and the so-called dignity are over.
