Can't help but notice Boyne a) playing the victim card, oh wow, I am being bullied, and b) saying authors & judges who walked from the Polari prize were "misguided" or "bullied", which infers they have no personal agency or morality to make decisions on but are forced into it, which is utterly arrogant and condescending from Boyne.

📖 📚 #Livres#SF
Rappel : Si vous aimez la SF (qui fait un peu peur) et que vous ne connaissez pas encore, je vous recommande les SCP.
C'est une oeuvres très particulière, car non sous la forme d'un roman mais sous forme de "fiches". C'est également une oeuvre collaborative... et la plus gigantesque jamais écrite: Elle fait plus de 35 000 pages.
(mais ça se consomme très bien par petits morceaux😄)
