Some books manage to capture turning points in life, periods of transition that we dread, that we try to put off until later, as long as possible, until they inevitably come crashing down on us, with lightning-fast violence. "Nous n'étions pas des tendres" is such a book.

This braided historical novel is remarkable for its very origin story. Julia Malye, a young French writer, did an MFA in the US and spent years crafting two versions of this novel: one in English (published under the title Pelican Girls by Harper), the other in French. To read both is less to read a translation than it is to…

Which one will…

We discovered French novelist Célia Houdart in 2022, when she published “Journée particulière”. This gracious, tender, suffused with a contained nostalgia was our introduction to her work which explores a great variety of crafts and words. We were curious to discover which authors and books Célia Houdart holds in high esteem, and she was generous enough to share with us…

French fanfiction about Lana Del Rey is a surprising pitch but you don’t need to be a fan to enjoy this. The singers are almost ciphers here for a story about artistry, womanhood, love and Americana.
