2 Down, 50 To Go "Enough About Love" (52 Books, 52 Weeks)
One of my goals this year is to read more fiction in translation. Luckily for me, there are several small presses that scour the world for quality literary fiction, and publish English editions of these books. Other Press is one of these presses, and Herve Le Tellier's novel Enough About Love is a wonderful example.
Enough About Love is an engaging story of two love triangles. Le Tellier weaves these two stories together with lyrical ease and multiple perspectives into a thoughtful exploration of love itself. This is one of the most charming books I have read in a long time.
My next book is Tom Rachman's novel The Imperfectionists.
