Recenzii
Committed to truth-telling, no matter how rough, but also intriguingly suspended in a cloud of unknowing and pain, Love Me Tender is a wry, original, agonizing book destined to become a classic of its kind
A deadpan, tensile thread of a voice: calm, Camusian, comic, stark, relentless, and totally hypnotic
Exhilarating
Love Me Tender will break your heart and repair it and break it again, but not because it's trying to. Debré writes matter of factly, fluidly, scabrously, laying bare the hypocrisies of society, of institutions, of families. It is a brutal manifesto of how to live an honest life, direct the way a laser is direct
In cruel, brilliant sentences that tighten around the truth like teeth, a fierce character emerges; a new kind of rebel in a queer masterpiece
Love Me Tender is a spitting, snarling tour de force of fuck-you feminist defiance. Pulling us straight from the tender moments of a mother meeting her estranged child, right into a whirlwind of lesbian pick-ups, Parisian apartment-hopping and chain smoking, Debré's novel is a stark reminder of society's suspicion towards women - particularly mothers -who resist easy definition. Wry, bold and confronting, Love Me Tender insists on a woman's right to define herself, to choose her own life
A story that's quietly heartbreaking and fiercely defiant
Love Me Tender is written with edge and urgency in a voice that is both vulnerable and in full command. I read it in one sitting and was taken over by its narrative energy and shocked by the story it tells
Intense... a character striving mightily for authenticity and honesty, questioning and rending the veil of social norms, acknowledging the Absurd, in hopes of finding some more solid, albeit subjective, truth
I am obsessed with Debré's spare account of a, both chosen and necessarily, pared-down life, that smashes the conventions of style as it smashes the conventions of family, without ever losing its tender touch
One of the most compulsive voices I've read in years ... there's undeniable pleasure to be had from the way in which she reacts, her powerful evacuation of feeling, her sense of taking an automatic rifle to her past... a vision of queer life that has nothing to do with identity or marriage or any of the new homonormative rites
This book knocked my block off. One of a kind
A compulsive read, this is for fans of Virginie Despentes, Hervé Guibert and Guillaume Dustan
Written in clear and direct prose. Fearless and honest. Hard and soft. Resolute and tough and yes very tender
Debré's writing aims to eradicate all origins and backstories, and with them the social roles they enforce, replacing them with an ethos of radical self-fashioning ... Debré's sprezzatura writing is the literary equivalent of a shrug: a swashbuckling 'Et alors?
Constance's voice is extremely strong - sharp, assertive, acerbic, and wholly convincing
Love Me Tender is, without a trace of coyness, a love letter, both to a child and to a queer woman's own becoming. As for Constance - both the author and her fictional counterpart - you root for her all the way.
Ferocious emotional honesty ... A bracing read and a timely reminder that attitudes are often far slower to change than legislation
Tight, present-tense prose (in a crisp translation by Holly James) ... genuinely inspiring
Painfully beautiful
it is easy to see why comparisons have been drawn between her work and that of Camus. Yet, there is something absolutely unique and uniquely compulsive to Debré's story ... daring and unputdownable, this is fiction at its most transgressive and transcendent
Love Me Tender, a bold and beautiful book, is precise and pared back. Debré's is a process of reducing and reducing
