Summary | 'Canoes' is a literary constellation made up of seven stories orbiting around a central novella, 'Mustang'. Each story, connected in some way with the notion "canoe," explores the nature of the human voice, its materiality, powers, and transformations, which compose a universe of sound full of vibrations and frequencies. Daughters, friends, sisters, young and old, talkative or daydreaming: the women here are ever-present. Kerangal's writing, with its deep-set and powerful descriptions, gives rise to immediate emotion and echoes the inner life behind her focused eye. |
