Pride is many things: celebration, remembrance, rebellion, joy. It’s also a story—of becoming, of shedding masks, of daring to speak in one’s own voice. This month, we honor Francophone queer voices that challenge conventions, rewrite the rules of literature, and expand the possibilities of identity.

The books gathered in this reading list do not shout—but they are anything but quiet. They engage with the subtle and seismic forces that shape our relationships, our politics, and our inner lives. Each, in its own way, asks us to listen more carefully—to the unsaid, the unheard, the deliberately dismissed.

For all those who once believed they had to be discreet, perfect, or useful in order to be loved, Communion opens a space for restitution. It's a text that doesn't give lessons, but offers a tender, demanding and profoundly human view. And we would do well to listen to it.

The four novels, all translated from the French with great care, in this list—grapple with silence. They ask: what do we carry forward when the world has shifted beneath our feet? What remains when memory falters, when language fails?

This Mother's Day, what about we honor the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures who raised us on stories—with stories?

The title La guerre par d'autres moyens encapsulates the central conflict of the story: a war fought not on battlefields, but through ambition, ego, and emotional sabotage. Power comes in many forms—and every character wants a taste.

In this moving exploration of familial bonds—blending sociological inquiry with personal testimony—Passeron captures the isolation endured by families at a time when the virus was unknown, denial pervasive, and the afflicted harshly ostracized. An outcast.
