Image has Book Cover and Reads: “My Take: “Merging memoir, poetry, art and cultural criticism Epum traces her narrator’s journey of finding her true sense of self amidst the shards that make up her life experiences. This debut is a powerful call for acceptance, not only of the truths and traumas we carry but also of the judgments that cloud our vision of those who walk a different path.”

Jean-Baptiste Andrea Wins Goncourt Prize With Sprawling Novel The prestigious French literary award went to “Watching Over Her,” or “Veiller Sur Elle,” an almost 600-page novel set in 20th-century Italy.

Does anyone happen to know if a US publisher will bring this new Jean-Baptiste Andrea novel out in English? The NYT doesn’t say…😤
