Hello everyone, it's a snowy Sunday! I will make a short suggestion and run away with this short yet layered, full book, which is my introduction to Bellatin.
A beauty salon... A place where people who live up to its name come to beautify, shine, and be more flamboyant. Yes, maybe so. The only thing he lacks is an aquarium filled with fish that are as lively as himself. Maybe more than one aquarium. Or walls covered with aquariums. Aquariums that remind us how small we are in the world, that you cannot stop looking at, and that remind us that we are beautiful with our diversity. An aquarium full of fish, sometimes swallowing the other, sometimes swaying slowly, sometimes tasked with cleaning up someone's garbage. And again, it depends on a certain system... What would happen to those fish if they didn't have engines that give oxygen? Or what if someone stops loving them? What if one day they lose their splendor? What remains of the beauty salon? What? A port where people take shelter to rest before they die and more.
There are many mysteries and details hidden between the pages in this short (!) novel about gender, being an individual, life and death, beauty norms and acceptance in society. I definitely recommend you read it. Among the best of this year
Stay with books!
