Would you be so kind and link me to your review of Paule Beckquaert and recommend me the other fiction books you mention?
Oh, of course there are plenty of good non-fiction books. I thought we were just talking about fiction. The academic publishing still maintains certain autonomy, though it is clear some interpretations are privileged and other are marginalized.
I sort of feel that originality is not what I am looking for. It's not a value per se for me anymore.
