All This Has Nothing To Do With Me is an exposé, a dissection of a broken heart.
The Routledge Companion to Literary Media examines the fast-moving present and future of a media ecosystem in which the literary continues to play a vital role. The term ‘literary media’ challenges the tendency to hold the two terms distinct and broadens accepted usage of the literary to include popular cultural forms, emerging technologies and taste cultures, genres, and platforms, as well as traditions and audiences all too often excluded from literary histories and canons. Featuring contributions from leading international scholars and practitioners, the Companion provides a comprehensive guide to existing terms and theories that address the alignment of literature and a variety of me...
In a graphic and artistic extension of the new model A110, this handsome volume celebrates the revival of the epic Alpine sports car. A veritable dialogue between the Alpine A110 sports car and the artists and writers who pay homage to it through photographs, art, and text, this book captures the model’s sensual mechanics, masterful agility, and esprit de corps. The volume’s exquisite binding features an exposed spine with blue stitching and a diagonal laser-cut window on the front cover. The guiding force behind Jean Rédélé’s creation of the Alpine in 1955 was a love of the road and a passion for driving. Alpine’s story is punctuated by competitions and the thrilling driving experience of this renowned car that was named after the sinuous roads of the Alps. After two decades of slumber, Alpine—fortified by its legendary backstory—was revived as the model A110 in the fall of 2017. Rooted in history but decidedly turned toward the future, the new Alpine embodies higher performance, is more compact and agile than ever, and deftly combines ultra-contemporary design with classic French elegance.
'This is valuable writing. It has immense vitality. You will encounter a female narrator whose direct and bright-eyed stare at the world, and her self, is without shame or faux modesty. At the same time, it is also a deep study of existence, at various ages and stages in life.' — Deborah Levy 'Swimming is a dreamy, bruised, and carnal book that pretty much no American would write and pretty much every American will thrill to read. Schneck’s “discovery of her body, at the age of fifty” is our encounter with an entrancing mind.' — Lauren Collins From celebrated author Colombe Schneck, in her first translation into English, The Paris Trilogy is three semi-autobiographical takes on a woman’s life, starting with Seventeen, progressing with Friendship, and then Swimming: A Love Story. Exploring questions of sexuality, bodily autonomy, femininity, friendship and loss, The Paris Trilogy is a moving meditation on a lifelong journey to reclaim the female body, accepting it for all its faults and learning to celebrate its strength. The Paris Trilogy is translated into English by award-winning translators Natasha Lehrer and Lauren Elkin.
A new strain of realism has emerged in France. The novels that embody it represent diverse fears—immigration and demographic change, radical Islam, feminism, new technologies, globalization, American capitalism, and the European Union—but these books, often best-sellers, share crucial affinities. In their dystopian visions, the collapse of France, Europe, and Western civilization is portrayed as all but certain and the literary mode of realism begins to break down. Above all, they depict a degenerative force whose effects on the nation and on reality itself can be felt. Examining key novels by Michel Houellebecq, Frédéric Beigbeder, Aurélien Bellanger, Yann Moix, and other French writ...
Lors d'un pique-nique au bord du lac Léman, Summer, dix-neuf ans, disparaît. Elle laisse une dernière image : celle d'une jeune fille blonde courant dans les fougères, short en jean, longues jambes nues. Disparue dans le vent, dans les arbres, dans l'eau. Ou ailleurs ? Vingt-cinq ans ont passé. Son frère cadet Benjamin est submergé par le souvenir. Summer surgit dans ses rêves, spectrale et gracieuse, et réveille les secrets d'une famille figée dans le silence et les apparences. Comment vit-on avec les fantômes ? Monica Sabolo a écrit un roman puissant, poétique, bouleversant.
Grand prix de l'héroïne Madame Figaro 2023. Prix du roman News 2022. "Je tenais mon sujet. Un groupe de jeunes gens assassinent un père de famille pour des raisons idéologiques. J’allais écrire un truc facile et spectaculaire, rien n’était plus éloigné de moi que cette histoire-là. Je le croyais vraiment. Je ne savais pas encore que les années Action directe étaient faites de tout ce qui me constitue : le silence, le secret et l’écho de la violence." La vie clandestine, c’est d’abord celle de Monica Sabolo, élevée dans un milieu bourgeois, à l’ombre d’un père aux activités occultes, disparu sans un mot d’explication. C’est aussi celle des membres du groupe terroriste d’extrême gauche Action directe, objets d’une enquête romanesque qui va conduire la narratrice à revisiter son propre passé.
