From September 4 to 10, 2026, the literary web review focuses on the books that critics, journalists, podcasters, and videographers, as listed by Bibliosurf, have been discussing the most. Laura Kasischke leads the conversation, followed by Caryl Férey, Julia Kerninon, Clémentine Mélois, and Amélie Nothomb. The week features themes of disappearances, family secrets, the memory of objects, and buried violence. Critical reception of these works is mixed, with some receiving praise and others sparking debate. This week, water and disappearance are central themes in the most commented narratives. Baignade surveillée (Gallimard) by Laura Kasischke explores the hours before a child's drowning in 1969, the same day as the Apollo 11 launch, using a choral narrative. Lakota (Gallimard) by Caryl Férey follows a sibling group investigating the death of their father, an Indian found in the Mississippi, tracing their journey to Lakota reservations. La dernière des Wilberforce (L'Iconoclaste) by Julia Kerninon is praised for its tension and addictive narrative. Choses que je croyais perdues (Gallimard) by Clémentine Mélois is described as subtle and sensitive, focusing on the memories objects hold. L'Adolescence du perroquet (Albin Michel) by Amélie Nothomb features a short story on affective bonds projected onto others. Several novels explore family memory and hidden secrets. Nous aussi (Actes sud) by Anne Godard and Notre-Dame-des-Anges (Editions POL) by Célia Houdart both delve into generational secrets and unspoken histories. N'efface pas mes cercles (Verdier) by Emma Marsantes examines the repetition of family violence across generations. Another theme connects novels from the American margins, focusing on the status of women. Tyson (Sonatine) by Tiffany Quay-Les trois rivières portrays an America where women's status is notable amid sacrifice and obligation. Ici, Maintenant (Métailié) by Tom Newlands is compared to Ken Loach films, highlighting its portrayal of social misery. Books also address bodies, eugenics, and invisible violence. Mon corps donné pour vous (Noir sur blanc) by Marouane Essadek presents a deeply empathetic view of historical figures. In a more intimate style, Charlotte Milandri's Arléa explores female violence with restrained sensitivity. Critical reception varies among the reviewed works. Les brebis égarées (Denoël) by Madeline Cash is praised for its audacity, while Heures sauvages (Héloïse d'Ormesson) by Marie Petitcuénot receives heartfelt praise for its poetic language. Le quatrième péché (Recamier) by Valérie Fayolle divides critics, with some appreciating its skillful construction but others finding the characters underdeveloped. Lady W (Buchet Chastel) by Jean-Philippe Blondel is seen as less accomplished than previous works, and Heureux comme jamais (Aux forges de Vulcain) by Guillaume Chamanadjian is criticized for caricatured characters. Allumettes (Agullo) by Jurica Pavičić is noted for its dramatic narrative and exploration of Croatian society. Ce qui dort sous le camélia (Gros Caillou) by Claudie O. Wetterwald receives praise for its portrayal of sisterhood. A cœur, l'amant (Albin Michel) by Lily King is described as a homage to fiction, and A l'ombre du Leviathan. T1, Une larme de poison (Albin Michel) by Robert Jackson Bennett is praised for its dynamic characters. This week, 284 contributions were recorded, including 237 reviews, 25 podcasts, and 22 videos.
