Louise Erdrich, Catherine Dufour’s SF, Visconti’s ghosts, Tangvald’s shipwrecks… The choice of “Sud Ouest” books

American novel. It is a major screw in American and Native American literature. Louise Erdrich continues her great history of the Ojibwe, their uprooting, the erasure of their culture around the character of Fleur Pillager, with two works brought together in one. “Like footsteps on the snow”, by Louise Erdrich, ed. Albin Michel, 448 p., €23.90.

Science-fiction. On the Moon, humanoids are trying, instead of robots and animals in augmented reality, to create an extraordinary garden… “The Fields of the Moon”, by Catherine Dufour, ed. Robert Laffont, €20.50.

Policy. “We have five years to avoid becoming a Chinese or American colony” warns the former Italian Prime Minister and teacher at Science Po , Enrico Letta, warning of the fragmentation of policies, the economy, regulations, uses… in Europe. “New ideas for Europe”, ed. Odile Jacob, €22.90.

French novel. Star actor in “Death in Venice”, Björn Andrésen, an unknown 15-year-old, was chosen by Luchino Visconti for his fragile and insolent beauty. This adolescent’s plunge into the world of cinema was dizzying. “The Crown of the Serpent”, by Guillaume Perilhou, ed. from the Observatory, €20

Comic strip. What could be more delightful than a history of wine in comics… This is in its 5the edition, an edition enriched with a voluminous chapter on Beaujolais. “The Incredible History of Wine. From prehistory to the present day, 10,000 years of adventure”, by Benoist Simmiat and Daniel Casanave, ed. The Arena, €26.
