あらすじ・解説
This week on Bookies’ Favourite, we’re diving into A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre, translated from French by Mark Hutchinson and published by Lolli Editions.
⚠️ Content Warning:
This episode includes discussions of mental illness and suicide, major themes within the novel. If you’d prefer to skip, feel free to rejoin us next week.
We unpack the book’s exploration of grief, loneliness, and fragile mental states, and we discuss the divisive writing stylethat sparked some strong reactions. We also share thoughts from multiple listeners—including special guest Ashlee (@afewofchifavoritethings)—who weigh in with their perspectives on this moving, elusive story.
📖 Next up:
We’ll be reading On the Calculation of Volume I by Solvej Balle, translated from Danish by Barbara J. Haveland and published by Faber. New episode drops Monday, May 5th!
✨ Get involved:
We love hearing your reactions—whether you loved a book, hated it, or felt somewhere in between. Send us your thoughts and we may feature them in a future episode!
