Résumé de l'éditeur:

Voilà un coin de campagne où l'on a de drôles de façons... La foire aux vieux, par exemple. Curieuse institution! On sait bien que tous les enfants peuvent voler comme des oiseaux dès qu'ils étendent leurs bras -mais est-ce une raison suffisante pour les enfermer derrière des murs de plus en plus hauts de plus en plus clos?

Le psychiatre Jacquemort se le demande -puis ne se le demande plus, car il a trop à faire avec la honte des autres, qui s'écoule dans un bien sale ruisseau. Mais nous, qui restons sur la rive, nous voyons que Boris Vian décrit simplement notre monde. En prenant chacun de nos mots habituels au pied de la lettre, il nous révèle le monstrueux pays qui nous entoure...

Avant-propos de Raymond Queneau.

Fanny Cottençon saura vous émouvoir et vous faire sourire dans un voyage que vous n'oublierez pas.

L'auteur

Chantre des délires et des merveilles, alchimiste fécond du langage et des formes, messager audacieux de l'imaginaire, il nous offre des pages inspirées par la poésie des extrêmes, témoignant d'une volonté farouche de créer et de partager.

La narratrice

a tourné dans de très nombreux films pour le cinéma et la télévision, où l'on a pu apprécier son mélange de charme, d'humour, mais aussi de profondeur et de douceur. Au théâtre, elle a joué récemment dans

August 9th, 1945, Nagasaki. Hiroko Tanaka takes in the view of the terraced slopes leading up to the sky. Wrapped in a kimono with three black cranes swooping across the back, she is twenty-one and in love with the man she is to marry.

Publisher's Summary:

Errol convinces Gray to return to the site of her first triumph - Kenya, where she had discovered an isolated tribe of Masai who worshipped American World War II deserter Charles Corgi as a god. While there, they meet Raphael Sarasola, a 24-year-old graduate assistant whose dark good looks and insolent manner make him a double for the dead Corgi. And as Errol watches, amazed and injured, Gray falls in love.

From its exotic beginning to its chilling end, The Female of the Species is a hypnotic, beautifully written novel. Through Errol, Raphael, and Gray, Lionel Shriver explores love in all its desperation.

Critic Reviews:

"From beginning to end, The Female of the Species is intelligent, sensual, absolutely fascinating and thoroughly extraordinary. And that's not half the praise it deserves." (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

I'll Be There picks up after the tragic death of Bertie Barron, who has entrusted the care of her eight-year old daughter, Nina, to her best friend, the dazzling entertainer Cee Cee Bloom. But life in the Hollywood spotlight never prepared Cee Cee for this role: mother to a little girl she barely knows. Even on the couch of the Tonight show or preparing the biggest act of her career, Cee Cee tries to focus on Nina and her needs. And for a while - eight years - it all seems to work: career, motherhood, even high-profile romance with a marvelous and unlikely lover. Then, with one devastating discovery, the life that Cee Cee has created with Nina in Hollywood is shattered, and she is forced to come to terms with the profound depth of her commitment to this young girl-now a young woman-who has become so precious to her.

Title: The Great World and Timothy Colt

Language: English

Release date: 07-10-09

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

It is the belief that law is the very essence of America's eminence that sustains Timothy Colt and makes him the tirelessly dedicated young lawyer he is. And it is belief in Timothy that brings his wife, Ann, to tolerate his grinding hours at the office and what in another profession might be regarded as neglect to his family. But as Timothy Colt rises in the firm, the opportunity to see the conflict between ethics and ambition at the very heart of Sheffield, Knox & Dale is thrust upon him, and his disillusionment begins.

Critic Reviews:

"A savagely perceptive portrait of executive-suite manners and morals. Extraordinarily well done." (Saturday Review)

Title: Shallows

Author: Tim Winton

Narrator: Tracey Callander

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Whales have always been the life-force of Angelus, a small town on the south coast of Western Australia. Their annual passing defines the rhythms of a life where little changes, and the town depends on their carcasses. So when the battle begins on the beaches outside the town, and when Queenie Cookson, a local girl, joins the Greenies to make amends for the crimes of her whaling ancestors, it can only throw everything into chaos.

©1993 Tim Winton; ©2002 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Editorial Reviews:

Australian environmentalist, novelist, and short story writer Tim Winton has a mantle full of awards and has twice been nominated for the Man Booker prize. Tracey Callendar is a gentle-voiced actress known for television work on A Country Practice, Neighbours, and much else. Together they bring the listener Shallows, a tough, dark, elegiac novel set in and around the whaling culture in Western Australia in the 1980s, during a time when traditional whaling societies were butting up against modern protest. Rather than a screed, however, the novel is pensive and its characters conflicted. Callendar gives great voice to Queenie Coupar Cookson, just the sort of tough-minded female character that has helped earn Winton such justified praise.

Title: The Risk Pool

Author: Richard Russo

Narrator: Sean Mangan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-31-08

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A wonderfully fun and perceptive novel in the traditions of Thornton Wilder and Anne Tyler, The Risk Pool is set in Mohawk, New York, where Ned Hall is doing his best to grow up, even though neither of his estranged parents can properly be called an adult. Richard Russo gives us a book that overflows with outsized characters and outlandish predicaments and whose vision of family is at once irreverent and unexpectedly moving.
