New books in pocket format
Every week, Télérama selects its favorites among the new books released in the pocket section. These are smaller, more portable editions designed for easy reading on the go.Autumn reading recommendations
At the beginning of autumn, readers can (re)immerse themselves in "King Kong Théorie" or in the novel that inspired the film "Englouti." The magazine suggests these as ideal reads for the changing season.Literature and the unsettling
The magazine noted that as the days shorten and the shadows lengthen, literature also likes to blur the boundaries between reality and the unsettling. This theme is reflected in the books it highlights.Exploring dark themes
Télérama highlighted several books to slip into the dark areas of existence: an island where reason wavers with "Shutter Island," by Dennis Lehane, a dive into the edges of survival in "Whalefall," by Daniel Kraus, a haunted house by the violence of the past with "Carcoma," by Layla Martínez, troubled souls in "Les Affligés," by Chris Womersley, and a feminist voice that does not hold back with "King Kong Théorie," by Virginie Despentes, reissued in pocket format.Themes of darkness and discomfort
The magazine described these books as so many ways to explore darkness, between silent terror, discomfort, and dizziness. Each offers a unique perspective on the darker aspects of human experience.
