Exquisite Corpse is a series of interconnected vignettes about some of the women in the Surrealist art movement. They were largely overshadowed by the men in their group, and many started off as their lovers, girlfriends, wives and muses. But many were artists in their own rights. They were non-conformists, rebellious, resistance fighters, and they were all less well-known than their male counterparts.
There are examples of their works throughout the novel, and these pieces of art along with their stories, no matter how short, encouraged me to go and look for more information and art.
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and the author for the serialisation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is another novel from 2015 that just keeps gaining popularity. During World War II a blind, french girl, Marie-Laure is forced to flee Paris for Saint-Malo hiding a jewel from her father’s museum. At the same time we learn about a german orphan Werner Pfennig, naturally adept at fixing radios and enlisted to use his skills to fight and find the French Resistance. Doerr interweaves the two characters lives with skill and attention to detail. His prose is beautifully crafted, drawing you into the past with flair and aplomb. This book took ten years to write and every page shows that not a word was wasted, Doerr rightfully received the Pulitzer Prize for this tome. A beautiful novel that deserves your full attention.
