Forest Dark Nicole Krauss SEPTEMBER 2017 Forest Dark Nicole Krauss From the bestselling, twice-Orange Prize-shortlisted, National Book Award-nominated author comes a vibrant tale of transformation: of a man in his later years and a woman novelist, each drawn to the Levant on a journey of self-discovery. Description Jules Epstein, a man whose drive, avidity, and personality have, for sixty-eight years, been a force to be reckoned with, is undergoing a metamorphosis. In the wake of his parents' deaths, his divorce from a thirty-year marriage, and his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner, he begins shedding the possessions he spent a lifetime accumulating a watch here, an Old Master there and becomes elusive, distant. Resolving to do something to commemorate his parents, he travels to Tel Aviv and checks into the Hilton. Meanwhile, a novelist leaves her husband and children behind in Brooklyn and arrives at the same hotel, hoping that the view of the pool she used to dive into on childhood holidays will unlock her writer 's block. But when a retired professor of literature recruits her for a project involving Kafka, she is drawn into a mystery that will take her on a metaphysical journey and change her in ways she could never have imagined. About the Author Nicole Krauss has been hailed by the New York Times as 'one of America 's most important novelists'.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

  • Jenny Zhang: Adoubée Par Lena Dunham, Cette Autrice Parle Immigration Et Adolescence
    Date : 08/10/2018 Heure : 05:01:06 Journaliste : Pauline Le Gall cheekmagazine.fr Pays : France Dynamisme : 0 Page 1/3 Visualiser l'article Jenny Zhang: adoubée par Lena Dunham, cette autrice parle immigration et adolescence Jenny Zhang, jeune autrice de 35 ans, a connu un succès fulgurant outre-Atlantique avec son premier recueil de nouvelles Sour Heart (à paraître en janvier 2019 en France aux éditions Philippe Picquier). Elle y puise dans son expérience de l’immigration pour raconter les névroses de sept jeunes adolescentes. DR Jenny Zhang est assise à la terrasse d’un restaurant. Son livre n’est pas encore sorti en France* et, au lendemain d’une rencontre à la librairie anglophone Shakespeare and Co, cette férue de poésie hexagonale est fébrile d’avoir des retours sur la perception de son premier recueil de nouvelles Sour Heart. Il faut dire qu’outre-Atlantique, cette jeune autrice de 35 ans a été adoubée par Lena Dunham et sa newsletter Lenny et propulsée comme l’une des écrivaines les plus en vue de sa génération, ce qui lui ajoute un peu de pression. On pourrait croire que Jenny Zhang, avec son charisme d’actrice et ses airs d’influenceuse, a tout de l’archétype de la “personnalité à suivre”. En lisant les sept nouvelles qui composent Sour Heart et en écoutant Jenny Zhang décortiquer avec une intelligence féroce les événements marquants de sa vie, on comprend qu’elle est bien plus que ça. Ses histoires sont toutes une variation autour de l’arrivée d’une famille chinoise aux États-Unis dans les années 80, racontées par le prisme du regard de sept adolescentes.
