    Comment définir l’identité ? Comment devient-on la mère de sa mère tout en restant sa fille ? Danielle Fournier nous propose trois novellas autour de ces thèmes. Il y a d’abord ce JE, le JE de Grâce, impuissante sur la terre paternelle et témoin de la descente aux enfers de son fils, celui qui joue avec les aiguilles et la mort. Puis ELLE intervient, celle qui pleure la mort de sa mère, qui tente d’accepter l’inacceptable dans une maison peuplée d’ombres. Enfin arrive le NOUS, englobant, neutre, mais vivant malgré tout, sous le signe du silence et de la mélancolie. En toile de fond, l’auteure offre un véritable hymne à la nature, omniprésente : le fleuve, les éléments, le paysage, déclinés poétiquement au gré des saisons

    In these seven stories spanning the Midwest to California, Charles McLeod brings us characters estranged from their homelands and locked in conflict with their past and present selves. In "How to Start Your Own Midwestern Ghost Town," an unnamed narrator hatches a plan to capitalize on rural decay. A porn star trying to transition to the mainstream does an interview with a German reporter in "The Subject of Our First Issue Is Art." In the title story, a closeted heroin dealer follows a ghostly girl into an Oakland graveyard. And in "Rancho Brava," the conductor of a focus group about corporate salsa keeps getting interrupted by visitors from the Old West. Alternating between the comic, the tragic, and the neurotic-- and often all three at once-- McLeod's second collection transports readers from the American mainstream to the dark edges of cities and the heartland's lost, forgotten towns, into the lives of people trying to decipher if they can escape their pasts, and at what cost

    Les veines brûlées --De même la neige et la pluie --Mélancolie Comment définir l’identité ? Comment devient-on la mère de sa mère tout en restant sa fille ? Danielle Fournier nous propose trois novellas autour de ces thèmes. Il y a d’abord ce JE, le JE de Grâce, impuissante sur la terre paternelle et témoin de la descente aux enfers de son fils, celui qui joue avec les aiguilles et la mort. Puis ELLE intervient, celle qui pleure la mort de sa mère, qui tente d’accepter l’inacceptable dans une maison peuplée d’ombres. Enfin arrive le NOUS, englobant, neutre, mais vivant malgré tout, sous le signe du silence et de la mélancolie. En toile de fond, l’auteure offre un véritable hymne à la nature, omniprésente : le fleuve, les éléments, le paysage, déclinés poétiquement au gré des saisons

    "De la mangrove du delta du Niger aux couloirs du métro parisien, d'un salon littéraire rue Monsieur-le-Prince à un amphithéâtre de la faculté de Jussieu, les nouvelles de Uli Wittmann nous font voyager dans des univers et des paysages très variés. Mais elles ont toutes en commun un léger grain de folie, qui les fait bifurquer subtilement et sans bruit vers le conte fantastique, sous les auspices de E.T.A. Hoffmann et de Maupassant.. Ces six nouvelles dessinent un territoire singulier où l'on bascule parfois sans le savoir, et sans le vouloir, de l'autre côté du miroir, dans un monde parallèle où la rationalité s'efface au profit de pratiques magiques, de sorcellerie, de rêves prémonitoires ou de croyances ancestrales...."--Page 4 de la couverture

    Hit or miss -- A perfect day at Riis Park -- Fortunetellers in Williamsburg -- Lightning Ridge -- Those delusions of grandeur -- Quarters -- People from Chicago -- Lies and funerals, complexications -- The boy -- Rancho Village -- Safe places -- Falling off the George Washington Bridge "Exploring the vagaries of life, human connection, and desire, the twelve stories of Safe Places navigate the fault lines of existence. Shifting from New York and Chicago to the American West and the Australian outback, Kerry Dolan's characters move through an uncertain and unpredictable world, confronting situations that are alternately menacing, tragic, and funny. An aspiring anthropologist falls under the sway of her fortuneteller. An American tourist catches opal fever in an Australian mining town and binds herself to a man she despises. Two hitchhiking teens take a ride with a mysterious stranger, while an unstable graduate student stalks the object of his affections across Berkeley. Assured and distinctive, the voice-driven stories of this debut collection capture the restless heart of characters in a state of flux, as they try-and frequently fail-to move beyond chance and circumstance"--

From Anchorage to the remote, unsettled wilderness, her stories reinvent what we think about the American frontier-- and what we believe about hope and human connection. -- adapted from jacket

    "Illuminating the dark side of the erotic, these interwoven stories explore obsession, violence, and the thin line between sex and death. Under a Mediterranean sun a man searches for the Temple of Zeus as his wife awaits her stalker; a sex worker at an illegal fetish club contemplates her options; a strike spirals out of control with eerie consequences; and a conflict with noisy neighbors reaches theatrical heights. Driven by lust, greed and revenge, chillingly calm or maddened by rage, Patricia Duncker's characters use every tool at their disposal to get what they want. Unapologetically disturbing and provocative like the B movies that inspired them, Seven Tales of Sex and Death holds up a mirror to humanity at its most flawed, ruthless and seductive"--Page 4 of cover

    The thirteen stories in Rebecca Turkewitz's debut collection, Here in the Night, are engrossing, strange, eerie, and emotionally nuanced. With psychological insight and finely crafted prose, Here in the Night investigates the joys and constraints of womanhood, of queerness, and of intimacy. Preoccupied with all manner of hauntings, these stories traverse a boarding school in the Vermont woods, the jagged coast of Maine, an attic in suburban Massachusetts, an elevator stuck between floors, and the side of an unlit highway in rural South Carolina. At the center of almost every story is the landscape of night, with all its tantalizing and terrifying potential. After dark, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, boundaries loosen, expectations fall away, and even the greatest skeptics believe--at least fleetingly--that anything could happen. These stories will stay with you."--Amazon.com

    "The ten acclaimed stories in this collection are pervaded by an air of Japanese ghostliness. In beautifully crafted and deceptively light prose, Nakajima portrays men and women beset by cultural amnesia and unaware of how haunted they are - by fragmented memories of war and occupation, by fading traditions, by buildings lost to firestorms and bulldozers, by the spirits of their recent past."--Publisher's page

    Kto zajrzy do tych snutych przez wybitnego twórcę opowieści prawdopodobnych i prawdziwych, ten trafi do świata, w którym znajdzie znane z autopsji doświadczenia. Poczuje absurd dnia codziennego. Ugryzie go sumienie. Nie będzie jednak poddawany ciężkim rekolekcjom. Najważniejsze przecież, aby historie były ciekawe. "Gmachem" rządzi Autor, który umie opowiadać. Proza jak współczesna przypowieść. Zaskakująca alegoriami i iluzorycznym realizmem. "Gmach" ma swoich kafkowskich bohaterów i surrealne rekwizyty. Jest w nim i śmieszno, i straszno. Tu dzieje się jak w filmie. Oto osiemnaście opowieści uzupełnionych grafikami wykonanymi przez Feliksa Falka. Sprawdźcie, jak żyje się w gmachu, jakie kościotrupy kryją się w szafach, co zrobić, gdy przyjdzie do was zawiadomienie o waszej śmierci, i dowiedzcie się, dlaczego portier to bardzo niebezpieczna profesja

    "Cat Brushing, the provocative first book of stories by Jane Campbell, vigorously explores the sensual worlds of thirteen older women, unearthing their passions, libidinal appetites, integrity, and sense of self as they fight against prevalent misconceptions and stereotypes of the aging. Written in spikey, incisive prose, this alluring cast of characters overcomes the notion that elder women's behavior must be in some way monitored and controlled. Jane Campbell's timeless wisdom and dark wit inspires and challenges, shocks and comforts as she examines the inner lives of women who fight to lead the rest of their lives on their own terms"--Provided by publisher

    "Composed of the title novella and three short stories, People Who Talk to Stuffed Animals Are Nice sensitively explores gender, friendship, romance, love, human interaction and its absence, and how a misogynistic society limits women and men. In the title story, Nanamori and Mugito, two university students appalled by society's gendered roles, rebel. Refusing to interact with other people they use stuffed toys for emotional support. In "Realizing Fun Things Through Water," a young woman named Hatsuoka must contend with a mother-in-law who swears by cancer-preventing "hyper-organization" water, and a sister who writes fake news for a living. "Bath Towel Visuals" illuminates the mental cost of not just laughing along at mean humor, while "Hello, Thank You I'm Okay" follows a family's response when their shut-in son announces he wants to throw himself a birthday party. These stories, sometimes comical, sometimes bittersweet, and always thought-provoking, speak to the pain and desires of all who embrace nuance, repudiate traditional sex roles, and long for a gentler and more tolerant world."
