Recenzii
It's not often that I find a collection in which every story is my favourite, but that is true here. Bordas' writing is generational - anxious, self-deprecating, witty, nihilistic - but what sets her apart is her incredible inclination for surprise. Each of these stories - like life - is its own singular, meandering, unguessable journey
Camille Bordas writes toward the quiet pressure points - the joke with a bruise under it, the love that won't behave, the losses that don't end when the funeral does. The prose is exact, unshowy, funny when it hurts to be, and tender without asking for mercy. These stories don't close so much as continue inside you. They tilt the world and don't set it back, leaving you to live with the shift
Bordas's narrators share a particular sensibility - smart, mordantly funny, and sharp-eyed about contemporary life on both sides of the Atlantic - but the stories themselves never land where you might expect. I hope this is the first of many collections, because I want to be reading Bordas for the rest of my life
Praise for Camille Bordas
Brilliance is on display
Funny, humane and slyly philosophical
Funny, intelligent and has much to say about how we live now
Highly recommended, imaginative and wry
Bound to be something here to captivate you
Told with sparkling energy ... Joy, sorrow and worry bubble under the surface, and Bordas beautifully teases out these emotional truths
