Un podcast de Slate.fr présenté par Charlotte Pudlowski. Épisode 30 : Dans son roman Délivrances, la romancière afro-américaine Toni Morisson, fait dire à son personnage Booker que "Scientifiquement, il n'existe rien de tel que la race" et que "donc le racisme sans race est un choix. Enseigné, bien sûr, par ceux qui en ont besoin, mais c'est tout de même un choix. Les gens qui le pratiquent ne seraient rien sans lui." C'est ce qu'a découvert Claire quand elle est partie vivre aux États-Unis. Et que l'on n'est pas toujours à la hauteur de la personne que l'on pense être. ©2016 slate.fr (P)2016 slate.fr

Title: My Glory Was I Had Such Friends Subtitle: A Memoir Author: Amy Silverstein Narrator: Erin Moon Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In this moving memoir about the power of friendship and the resilience of the human spirit, Amy Silverstein tells the story of the extraordinary group of women who supported her as she waited on the precipice for a life-saving heart transplant. Nearly 26 years after receiving her first heart transplant, Amy Silverstein's donor heart plummeted into failure. If she wanted to live, she had to take on the grueling quest for a new heart - immediately. A shot at survival meant uprooting her life and moving across the country to California. When her friends heard of her plans, there was only one reaction: "I'm there." Nine remarkable women - Joy, Jill, Leja, Jody, Lauren, Robin, Valerie, Ann, and Jane - put demanding jobs and pressing family obligations on hold to fly across the country and be by Amy's side. Creating a calendar spreadsheet, the women - some of them strangers to one another - passed the baton of friendship, one to the next, and headed straight and strong into the battle to help save Amy's life. Empowered by the kind of empathy that can only grow with age, these women, each knowing Amy from different stages of her life, banded together to provide her with something that medicine alone could not. Sleeping on a cot beside her bed, they rubbed her back and feet when the pain was unbearable, adorned her room with death-distracting decorations, and engaged in their "best talks ever". They saw the true measure of their friend's strength, and they each responded in kind. My Glory Was I Had Such Friends is a tribute to these women and the intense hours they spent together - hours of heightened emotion and self-awareness, where everything was laid bare. Candid and heartrending, this once-in-a-lifetime story of connection and empathy is a powerful reminder of the ultimate importance of "showing up" for those we love.

Title: Cutting Back Subtitle: My Apprenticeship in the Gardens of Kyoto Author: Leslie Buck Narrator: Caroline McLaughlin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: At 35, Leslie Buck made an impulsive decision to put her personal life on hold to pursue her passion. Leaving behind a full life of friends, love, and professional security, she became the first American woman to learn pruning from one of the most storied landscaping companies in Kyoto. Cutting Back recounts Buck's bold journey and the revelations she has along the way. During her apprenticeship in Japan, she learns that the best Kyoto gardens look so natural they appear untouched by human hands, even though her crew spends hours meticulously cleaning every pebble in the streams. She is taught how to bring nature's essence into a garden scene, how to design with native plants, and how to subtly direct a visitor through a landscape. But she learns the most important lessons from her fellow gardeners: how to balance strength with grace, seriousness with humor, and technique with heart. Critic Reviews: "Buck has as good an eye for cultural dissonance as she does for pines that need pruning...This is an absorbing read about the formative interplay of humans, cultures, and gardens." (Publishers Weekly)

Title: Hons and Rebels Author: Jessica Mitford Narrator: Jenny Agutter Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-17 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The Mitford family is one of the century's most enigmatic, made notorious by Nancy's novels, Diana's marriage to Sir Oswald Mosley, Unity's infatuation with Hitler, Debo's marriage to a duke and Jessica's passionate commitment to communism. Hons and Rebels is an enchanting and deeply absorbing memoir of an isolated and eccentric upbringing which conceals beneath its witty, lighthearted surface much wisdom and depth of feeling. Critic Reviews: "More than an extremely amusing autobiography she has evoked a whole generation. Her book is full of the music of time." (Sunday Times) "Stunning. Reads like extravagantly mannered fiction, except that it is all fabulously true Miss Mitford is at once touching and wildly funny, and there is not one of her highly coloured characters that is not violently alive and uncomfortably kicking." (Tatler) "The story of Jessica Mitford's struggles makes tumultous and rewarding reading, and I recommend it heartily." (Elizabeth Janeway, The New York Times) "[Mitford] has a most unusual talent for recapturing the past. There is a feeling of immediacy, as if it were all being written on the spot, at the time, by the teen-ager it was happening to. It is a fascinating book." (New York Herald Tribune) "The admitted 'rich vein of lunacy' in the Mitford family apparently has done nothing to dim the brilliance of its members among whom Jessica must be included. Although there's a strong undercurrent of seriousness throughout the book, it's submerged under downright hilariousness, crackling brash humor and enchanting turns-of-the-phrase." (San Francisco Chronicle) "Jessica Mitford (the fifth of the Mitford daughters) has brought a whole generation back to life in her autobiography .She tells the whole story of her rebellion with engaging frankness and a spirited, often humorous, enthusiasm." (Richard McLaughlin, Springfield Republican) "Jessica tells her tale with girlish gush, brilliantly preserved a generation after the events." (Time)

Vance Narrator: Anthony Pica Format: Unabridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: FastReads Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: "I grew up in a world where everyone worried about how they'd pay for Christmas. Now I live in one where opportunities abound for the wealthy and privileged to shower their generosity on the community's poor." - J.D. Vance "No matter our financial position, our family somehow managed to spend just more than we had on holiday shopping. We didn't qualify for credit cards, but there were many ways to spend money you didn't have." - J.D. Vance "Some people may conclude that I come from a clan of lunatics. But the stories made me feel like hillbilly royalty, because these were classic good-versus-evil stories, and my people were on the right side. My people were extreme, but extreme in the service of something - defending a sister's honor or ensuring that a criminal paid for his crimes." - J.D. Vance "The truth is hard, and the hardest truths for hill people are the ones they must tell about themselves. Jackson is undoubtedly full of the nicest people in the world; it is also full of drug addicts and at least one man who can find the time to make eight children but can't find the time to support them. It is unquestionably beautiful, but its beauty is obscured by the environmental waste and loose trash that scatters the countryside." - J.D. Vance What you will learn from listening to this audiobook:

Title: The Joey Song Subtitle: A Mother's Story of Her Son's Addiction Author: Sandra Swenson Narrator: Lori Felipe-Barkin Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-17 Publisher: Central Recovery Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: There can be recovery, even if it doesn't happen within the addict. Sandy lives where love and addiction meet - a place where help enables and hope hurts. When addiction steals her son, Sandy fights for his survival, trying to stay on the right side of an invisible line between helping him to live and helping him to die. By age 20, Joey overdoses, attempts suicide, quits college, survives a near-fatal car accident, does time behind bars, and is kicked out of rehab more than once. Increasingly manipulative, delusional, and hateful, the sweet Joey from childhood is lost to the addict wearing his face. Working with an interventionist, a judge, and tracking Joey's movements online, Sandy does what she can to save Joey from himself until it hurts more to hang on than it hurts to let go. Through Family Programs, Al-Anon, reading, and learning from her mistakes, Sandy discovers that sometimes love means doing nothing, and that letting go is not the same thing as giving up. She also learns that she needs to work on surviving her son's addiction while coming to terms with the fact that he may not. Years pass. Friends and family no longer ask about Joey; they no longer know what to say. Joey is not in recovery, but Sandy works on hers, trying to keep the poison that is consuming Joey from destroying the rest of her family and her life. She starts a program to teach young men living in a group home how to budget, grocery shop, and cook, hoping that someone will someday help her own son in some way that she cannot. As in the song she sang to him so many times, Sandy keeps Joey down in her heart to stay. There is a place in her life that is exactly his size. One she hopes he will someday want to fill. This is the poignant story of a defiant addict and the mother who won't give up on him. She finally realizes that it hurts more to hang on than to let go, and that letting go is not the same thing as giving up.
