Publisher's Summary:

Alice Dickinson, a young advertising executive in London, decides to take time off work to research her idea for a screenplay: the true story of the scandalous, adulterous love affair that took place between a young, Amherst college faculty wife, Mabel Loomis Todd, and the college's treasurer, Austin Dickinson, in the 1880s. Austin, twenty-four years Mabel's senior and married, was the brother of the reclusive poet Emily Dickinson, whose house provided the setting for Austin and Mabel's trysts.

Alice travels to Amherst, staying in the house of Nick Crocker, a married English academic in his fifties. As Alice researches Austin and Mabel's story and Emily's role in their affair, she embarks on her own affair with Nick, an affair that, of course, they both know echoes the affair that she's writing about in her screenplay.

Critic Reviews:

"Lyric and rich, this beautiful novel presents two love affairs more than a century apart, expertly stitched together by the unseen hand of Emily Dickinson. Through a small, intimate lens the novel explores blockbuster themes of love, honesty and fidelity. It is a rare and lovely book." (Priya Parmar, author of

Titre: Sacrés fonctionnaires ! Un Américain face à notre bureaucratie

Auteur: Ted Stanger

Narrateur: Lemmy Constantine

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 6 hrs and 22 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 01-30-15

Éditeur: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Ted Stanger frappe encore ! "Le plus français des Américains" jette cette fois son regard moqueur sur le monde des fonctionnaires et... des administrés. Ressortissant d'un pays où même la carte d'identité n'existe pas, il brosse le tableau à la fois drôle, ironique et impertinent de notre système administratif et de ses cinq millions d'agents. À propos de l'invraisemblable dépendance affective des Français vis-à-vis de la fonction publique, il constate, amusé : "Vous êtes tous des licenciés ès dossier, des fidèles du guichet, des remplisseurs de formulaires, des cocheurs de cases."

À travers ces chroniques, Ted Stanger nous dévoile ses allergies face à la bureaucratie sous toutes ses formes. Un rejet de la paperasserie qui l'a d'ailleurs poussé à préférer vivre en France comme un sans-papiers pendant dix ans. De son mariage raté pour cause de formalités excessives à son amour secret pour une contractuelle bienveillante en passant par l'hystérie fiscale, les passe-droits institutionnalisés, notre paysannerie subventionnée, nos services publics anesthésiés ou encore l'invention du libéralisme planifié, l'auteur fait son miel et s'interroge sur le lien entre un certain déclin français et le trop-plein d'Etat-providence. Fonctionnaire ou pas, tout le monde se reconnaîtra dans ce portrait d'une France exceptionnelle, telle que seul cet Américain francophile pouvait la décrire.

Title: I Think You're Totally Wrong

Subtitle: A Quarrel

Author: David Shields, Caleb Powell

Narrator: Jonathan Todd Ross, Luis Moreno

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-06-15

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A debate, nearly to the death, about life and art, cocktails included. And a soon-to-be major motion picture from James Franco! Caleb Powell always wanted to become an artist, but he overcommitted to life (he's a stay-at-home dad to three young girls), whereas his former professor David Shields always wanted to become a human being, but he has overcommitted to art. Shields and Powell spend four days together in a cabin in the Cascade Mountains, playing chess, shooting hoops, hiking to lakes and an abandoned mine; they rewatch My Dinner with AndrE, Sideways, and The Trip, relax in a hot tub, and talk about everything they can think of in the name of exploring and debating their central question: life and/or art. The relationship - and the balance of power - between Shields and Powell is in constant flux, as two egos try to undermine each other, two personalities overlap and collapse. This audiobook seeks to demolish the QA format; it also seeks to confound, as much as possible, the divisions between "reality" and "fiction", between "life" and "art". There are no teachers or students, no interviewers or interviewees, no masters in the universe, only a chasm of uncertainty.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Le Paradise est ce club du Red Light de Montréal qui, en 1930, accueille les vieux garçons dans un espace nommé le ringside. C'est là qu'Édouard Tremblay aimerait bien faire son entrée dans le "grand monde", peu après son embauche comme vendeur de chaussures sur l'avenue du Mont-Royal. Car à presque dix-huit ans il est déjà emporté par le double qui l'habite, cette duchesse de Langeais qui deviendra son personnage de folle des nuits de la métropole.

Et c'est aussi au Paradise que travaille la mère de Nana, Maria Desrosiers, toujours aux prises avec "cette boule dans la gorge, ce poids sur son cœur". Autour d'elles s'agitent les membres des deux familles, à la merci de ce "maudit destin qui ne mène jamais où on veut aller" : Ti-Lou et Maurice, Victoire et Télesphore, Albertine et Madeleine, Teena, et l'inconsolable Josaphat-le-Violon, qui se réfugie à l'asile Saint-Jean-de-Dieu.
