The Reader on the 6.27

A love letter to reading and books – Guylain Vignolles works at a book-pulping factory, but adores books and steals single pages as an act of resistance. He reads the pages aloud to a rapt audience on his morning train, releasing the words into the world.

It’s a rather charming little story. I’m sure there are layers of symbolism and meaning that I missed on my initial read, but even on a surface reading I enjoyed it.
