Beautiful world, where are you
Livre
Edité par Faber and Faber. London
Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and asks him if he'd like to travel to Rome with her. In Dublin, her best friend, Eileen, is getting over a break-up and slips back into flirting with Simon, a man she has known since childhood. Alice, Felix, Eileen, and Simon are still young─but life is catching up with them. They desire each other, they delude each other, they get together, they break apart. They have sex, they worry about sex, they worry about their friendships and the world they live in. Are they standing in the last lighted room before the darkness, bearing witness to something? Will they find a way to believe in a beautiful world?

Un roman Irlandais très juste sur notre époque
Un roman qui dépeint avec justesse une génération de trentenaires entre amour, amitié, les questionnements sur la vie et le monde. Je recommande la lecture, j'ai passé un bon moment à lire ce livre qui m'a renvoyé a plusieurs passages de ma vie. Extrait chapitre 14 qui résume bien ce livre : "So of course in the midst of everything, the state of the world being what it is, humanity on the cusp of extinction, here I am writing another email about sex and friendship. What else is there to live for?"
