The Sea Wall

Let's get started.

In this week's episode, we chat about the books that we are reading, including a classic American sci-fi novel and a fantastic French modernist novel by one of France's leading writers.

We talk about the crazy life of Victor Hugo, and we conclude asking whether we should or shouldn't finish books that we don't enjoy.

So Liv, what are you reading this week?

When she was a young teenager, sort of 15, she had an affair with a much older 30-ish year old Chinese man.

And basically the book is just excerpts from their love affair, this doomed love affair.

I think I was surprised because I was expecting it to be more of a traditional novel narrative.

But in reality, it's very episodic.
