Ulrich Plate<p>Je suis optimiste que ça ira, son dernier roman «&nbsp;Apeirogon&nbsp;» de 2020 (sur base réelle, un Palestinien et un Israélien ayant chacun perdu une fille dans le conflit, désormais déterminés à œuvrer ensemble pour la réconciliation au Proche-Orient) était monumental et – hormis les quelques sentences pathétiques – très bien écrit, construction fragmenté qu’on a comparé à <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/WGSebald" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WGSebald</span></a> en 1001 mini-chapitres, et allusion mathématique des «&nbsp;nombres amicaux&nbsp;» en prime. Il est vrai qu’avec «&nbsp;Twist&nbsp;» <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/McCann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>McCann</span></a> a encore traité un sujet en dehors de sa propre sphère d’expériences, mais si le résultat sera aussi remarquable que le prédécesseur, je ne me plaindrai pas trop. 2/3</p>

Rachel Malik<p>When a morally compromised author claims the field of aesthetics as a value-free area, it should make his readers stop and think. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/WGSebald" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WGSebald</span></a> on <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/AlfredAndersch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AlfredAndersch</span></a></p>
