October 2025

Fall reading season 2025. "Obey no code. Stay invisible. Want nothing. Owe nobody anything. Reject common sense. Prove by disappearing that evolution offers nothing of interest. Escape the universal." Somewhere in France, a guy decides to drop out completely. Not just quit his job—vanish from the entire social contract. Benacquista tracks this weird experiment in becoming nobody.

Fall reading season 2025. "Every morning, ask yourself: who am I? A body? A fortune? A reputation? None of that. What have I ignored that leads to happiness?" I found Minard through her absurdist western, Faillir être flingué. That book was wild and weird. This one's different but equally uncompromising. She doesn't write to please anyone.
