A review by hahildebrand
Novels in Three Lines by Lucy Sante, Félix Fénéon

5.0

Remarkable. Essentially a collection of 1000+ ultra-minimal News In Brief items Fénéon wrote for the newspaper Le Matin in 1906. Written with incredible style - boiling down news items to their essence and adding wry commentary, they're a salutory lesson in concision and both darkly funny and extremely moving at times. I started highlighting my favourites but there were too many.
