Omtale; Farvel til Eddy Bellegueule av Edouard Louis

For en tid tilbake fikk jeg et leseeksemplar av Farvel til Eddy Bellegueule av Edouard Louis fra forlaget, og har til slutt lest den.

Fra en tidlig alder opplever Eddy forakt og alvorlig mobbing, og på generelt basis en verden om står opp mot ham. Bakgrunnen hans med fattigdom og vold kjemper i mot ham. Når han i tenårene står framfor et valg, er valget enkelt; han flykter.

Boka er ikke alltid like kjekk lesing, men den er blant de bedre romanene jeg har lest i år.

    Tror de fleste er enig med deg. Jeg for min del var ikke så imponert, så jeg tror jeg må lese den på nytt og se hva det er jeg har gått glipp av :)

      Selv om den kanskje var blant de bedre, så tør jeg allikevel påstå at jeg ikke kommer til å kalle den "årets roman" hvis det er til en liten trøst. ;-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
