Undiscovered

Gabriela Wiener

Translated by Julia Sanches

Having read it

★★★☆☆

An interesting view of a life present and a familial one, historically, just not sure what it was trying to prove.

A good passage

I pick up the book, start thumbing through the end, and come across an appendix I’d never noticed, signed by a certain Pascal Riviale. The title of the piece is ‘Charles Wiener: Scientific Explorer or Media Man?’ The text is brief and almost woundingly sarcastic, just shy of libel.
