“There is no other name.”

Gigi by Colette

August 28, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Gigi – 2 stars This book is one for the dustbin of history assuredly. So much of Colette feels fresh and amazingly progressive and in the moments where they feel less so, then she often feels like she’s providing an undercurrent of built-in criticism in some interesting ways. This book does not feel like that at all. In fact, it feels oddly regressive for her, especially so late in her life and career when much of the rest of society had actually caught up to […]

My son, be rich and live your own life! Tell yourself that you’re the incarnation of an ancient aristocracy. Model yourself on the feudal barons. You’re a warrior

Cheri; The Last of Cheri; Duo; The Cat; The Other One by Colette

July 3, 2018 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Vol 2: Cheri – 4/5 Stars Cheri is the novel of Fred, a young man raised by a single mother who in his 18th year took on an older lover.

The Vagabond; My Mother's House; Sido by Colette

July 1, 2018 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Part 1 of several: The Vagabond – 4/5 Stars The Vagabond is a novel from about 1910 about a Vaudeville/Burlesque performer in her early to mid thirties who, rather being at the end of her long and stories career or getting tired a looking to wind down, finds herself in a strange and scary position of facing the world anew after the radical upheaval of her first husband leaving her. This change does not institute a period of wildness, but does allow her to see […]
