Continuer

In Continuer, Sybille takes her son Samuel on a long horseback journey through Kyrgyzstan, at once a maternal rescue mission and an initiatory ordeal. As Norbert Czarny observed, “Continuer is also an adventure novel, one rich in verbs of action, describing obstacles, perils, threats, and the responses Sybille and Samuel give them. One senses in Mauvignier a pleasure in storytelling, close no doubt to that he once found reading Jules Verne, Jack London or Joseph Conrad. And this pleasure is contagious” (En attendant Nadeau, no. 16, September 13, 2016).
