My favourite books I read in 2024 (2/2). John Lurie's superlative biography, an disturbing and unexpectedly timely history of South Korea from the new Nobel laureate, a kaleidoscopic portrait of hell, and above everything, Marcel P, who provided me with the experience of my life

My favourite books I read in 2024 (1/2). An epic poem about poetry, German misanthropy, Parisian therapists, a history of viruses, hauntings in the Alps and the American South, a huge whale in a collapsing town, and a portrait of stolen childhood
