At the next intersection, turn ...?

The very private life of Mr Sim , Jonathan COE

Travelogue under GPS and novel introduction to fifty, find bittersweet laughter of our preferred English.

A divorce, severe depression, a father at the other end of the world, a love life on pause: Maxwell Sim is in dire straits. Faced with a scene of a happy and banal (a mother and daughter having fun playing cards), he wonders: how is it that he is unable to develop a Such complicity with members of his entourage. Quarreled with his best friend away from his ex-wife and daughter, silent about his father to confide, with whom to share? His first resolution to end this curse is to engage in conversation with his neighbor in the plane that brought him back to England after spending a few days with his father in Sydney. No luck: while for the first time in his life he manages to tell, the passenger died of a heart attack in full flight! But Maxwell clings and does not hesitate to bounce back to agree to undertake a funny trip organized by a brand of toothbrushes craft. The opportunity to reconnect with old friends and maybe get back to live under the guidance of Emma, languid voice of his GPS.

Faced with despair and loneliness, WCC imposes the ultimate weapon: humor british. While his previous novel was especially melancholy (as was said here ), it revives the spirit of more Testament in English or The house of sleep. A beautiful loser character, an anti-hero endearing ordinariness, beset by worries of his time. We also find all the ease of the author when it comes to pass from one voice to another by including in his account of letters, news, pages of memories that come gradually illuminate the character on identity. WCC dropped small stones that eventually lead the way and bring his character to a surprising discovery to say the least ... In adopting the codes of the novel of initiation and the travel narrative (is there an equivalent term in road- movie for literature?), he leads the reader through the scene of life Modern (airport, bus station, restaurant chain, ...) with a benevolent irony.

No hesitation at the next junction towards your PAL!

The Beginning Stages Of Chicken

The Public Good: An exhibition that echoed the news


Planet NSG members exhibit the works of the artist Josette Simon Guiollot (center). Photo Remi Béjot

Once again, the association Planet NSG creates the event by hosting a painting exhibition in perfect harmony with the news.
Planet NSG offers exposure "Hotspots" which features some very colorful paintings of large, stapled on the wall as if to indicate the urgency of the situation.
The painter, Josette Simon Guiollot, is the granddaughter of sculptor and implanted Beaune in the Country for several years.
At 12, she is already taking courses at the Fine Arts. In the eighties, she decided to concentrate fully on-the passion and went to Paris to train in several workshops. Then, she will receive training in art therapy that led him to teach his technique to diverse audiences but also to develop a heterogeneous-art project.
The revolt of the Arab people
"Hotspots" is an exhibition of circumstance because it speaks of the revolt of the Arab peoples that Josette Simon Guiollot knows pretty well for them to be made repeatedly. "I'm in revolt and anger, friendship for all those peoples who suffer and who thirst for parole. Faced with these events, our small everyday problems seem trivial and often-futile. I work on the encounter with another in an incessant search for love and communication ", explains the artist.
Suffering and hope for change
The biggest star, with an area of about 6 square meters, was painted a few years ago, echoing the conflict situation in the Gaza Strip. Other paintings are more recent and return inexorably to suffering and hope of change claimed by these people. In the midst of these paintings, all done in acrylic, the artist staged. Several portraits of various sizes and illustrated by bubbles, like a cartoon. The soundbites and reflections that illustrate these phylacteries-contrast with the works and allow everyone to navigate and perspective on the importance of its concerns. The texts speak for themselves-and everyone can navigate.
Info The exhibition runs at the Fief, 3, Republic Square, Saturdays from 10 to 13 hours or by appointment. Contact: tel. 06.20.92.99.89; jgsaturne@orange.fr /; www.planetenuits.com/.

Spanish Wedding Reception Ideas



The Junk , Sarah Waters

The fifth novel by Sarah Waters tells of greatness and English decadence of a home and family there (on) lives. Both fresco family, fantastic story and social novel, a book that devours.

Hundreds Hall is a magnificent and huge house nestled in the English countryside and inhabited for generations by the family Ayres. The narrator of this story, Faraday, recalls the grandeur of this house where his mother was a nanny. The images he cautions are those of the splendid festivities taking place there, creeping, employees and the nobility of its people. But when, became a doctor despite his social origins, he had the opportunity enter them again, years later, he can only observe the decay Hundreds Hall and the rest of the family Ayres. Called because the only domestic worker, the young Betty, complains of stomach pains, he will meet Mrs. Ayres and his two children, Caroline, spinster (despite his young age) without charm but not devoid of humor and Roderick's son, returned from the war wounded. The family fortune and nothing remains of the glory of the past there are only good manners to Ayres, a few dingy dresses, holding that the good old fashioned poor Betty has to shoulder every day and marvel at this house Dr. Faraday always, especially on days of fine weather, but collapses from all sides and that the three remaining family members are no longer able to stand. And then ... and then some strange things begin to occur in this mysterious mansion. Noises, marks on the walls, the feeling of a presence ... One by one, the Ayres family members seem to succumb to the terror generated by this house, to the chagrin of Dr. Faraday, who does not know what to do to make them see reason. The family suffers Ayres does a hereditary disorder that leads inexorably to madness Hundreds Hall or is it haunted? But
beyond the ghost stories, The Junk the novel is mainly of an era: the post-war is an emerging new class of operatives, and sees another death yesterday while Top of social hierarchy and now often ruined and without any power. The "new rich" are buying up old houses, get rid of what made their charm and turn into buildings and modern practices.
Sarah Waters creates a mysterious atmosphere and captivating, sometimes scary and you think, often, to Edgar Allan Poe. The author, once will not hurt, for narrator has chosen a man and we witness, through the eyes of both fascinated and condescending love of Dr. Faraday, day after day, season after season, the collapse of this house, this family and some time. It does not happen much, yet difficult to release 707 pages of this novel as the tension of this family is palpable fresco and terribly endearing characters. And if the end is a little frustrating, it is undeniable The Junk us spellbound.

Best Way To Get Rid Of A Gum Ulcer

Catherine Bodmer


Catherine Bodmer Artist in Residence Artist in Residence (Français FOLLOWS) The current project is a new body of work I am currently developing the following a residency research that I conducted in spring 2010 in Mexico City. From a "routinization" of my trips to town, I was curious to explore the idea of a place of nudity in a city teeming with people and things. Next intuitively rather the idea of limbo, this intermediate space and blurring between heaven and hell, I have documented several places that seemed to fit that image in-between. Using strategies of doubling and multiplication, symmetry and asymmetry, these links are put in situations and relationships with themselves and with the contradictions inherent in the desire to reconstruct the lost paradise.
I use the medium of photography and digital processing of the image to explore real and imaginary spaces of everyday life, but above all, that of the same image that allows the fusion and confusion of the two. It is never to use that photograph as a document of reality, but rather as material that can arrange multiple images and elements with digital means. They are constructed images that hover between reality and fiction, and propose to revisit the themes of ambition, desire, and absurdity.
************* Catherine Bodmer Artist in Residence The present project constitutes a new body of work which is a direct offshoot of my research residency in Mexico City in the spring 2010. Starting from a “routinization” of my movements throughout the city, I wanted to explore the idea of the nudity of particular places in a city teeming with people and things. Pursuing in a rather intuitive fashion the idea of limbo, that indistinct, intermediate zone between paradise and hell, I documented several different locales which seemed to correspond to this image of in-betweenness. By employing techniques of replication and multiplication, symmetry and asymmetry, these places and situations are put in relationships with themselves, revealing inherent contradictions in the desire to reconstruct a lost paradise.

I have been using photography and the digital processing of images to explore the real and imaginary spaces of daily life and, above all, the space within the image itself which allows for a fusion and confusion of the two. The photograph is never solely a document portraying a reality, but rather provides the means to digitally configure a variety of images and elements. These are constructed images, oscillating between reality and fiction and permitting a re-evaluation of the themes of ambition, desire, and absurdity.

Catherine Bodmer, who is from Switzerland, graduated from the School of Arts in Lucerne and completed a Master’s degree in art at the Université du Québec in Montréal in 1999. Her artistic work includes installations, in-situ creations, and photographs dealing with ideas of transformation and fluidity which are central to her research. Her work has been presented at several solo and group exhibitions across Canada, as well as in Mexico and Taiwan. In 2008, she was awarded the Canada Council’s Duke and Duchess of York Award in Photography. In 2010, she completed a residency in Mexico City as part of the studio residency program of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and she will return this spring to participate in another residency at ADM Centro Arte Diseño Multimedia in Mexico City.

How Do Basco People Look

Dead Man (Re) Read the classics # 3


The Work Emile Zola

art or life or how Zola defends modern art.

In the Rougon-Macquart family, you had already spoken here the first generation, which would determine the fates of their descendants. Skip a few years to take an interest in Claude Lantier, a son of Gervaise. Thanks to an old gentleman who had seen him as a budding artist, Claude left Paris at age nine years to receive, in the south, a serious education enabling him to escape family poverty. His ambition is, in adulthood, to become a great painter. Not one of these gentlemen of the Academy who have understood nothing of painting, but a visionary artist, able to report on the canvas of the Truth of the changing world, its colors and lights. A modern painter. In his small workshop, it persists in the work which should enable it to enter the Salon. A large painting about strange lunch in the woods where, alongside men dressed, a naked woman appears. The female figure eludes him, the models did not inspire. That chance encounter with Christine, an unhappy frightened by the small provincial city, which allows him to find inspiration and, eventually, true love. Because Claude is passionate in his art in his life. Bursts of creativity that can overwhelm and devour, now certain to be a genius, now convinced that he never will succeed in painting his dreams. The famous canvas, Outdoors , is clearly rejected at the Salon but will be exposed, and this is a first the Salon des Refuses. Creating desired by Napoleon III, this show off is a response to critics who question the choice of the Salon jury and the public can form its own opinion. And all of Paris to discover these artists that have not been legitimized by the official institutions. The canvas of Claude is the star of the show, not for his qualities, but by the incredible ridicule it triggers in the audience. The crowd just to gloat absurd image, breaking with the standards and tastes of the time. Despite the recognition of some of his peers who see him the leader of a possible new paint, this setback and humiliation for the artist cursed mark the beginning of the end.

Although this volume Rougon-Macquart is consistent with the general experimental novel by Zola wanted (the passionate temperament and borderline Claude was partly explained by its genetic) is above all an incredible document the beginnings of modern painting in Paris. Familiar Cezanne and Manet ( Outdoors returns so barely disguised his Luncheon on the Grass), demonstrates here ZOLA resistors academicism and the public face of this new way of painting in the second half of the 19th century. The fate of Claude is one of those artists who wanted to break with the official painting and, on leaving the workshops, trying to report on the work of light (like Monet, Claude tries to collect the light changes on the same subject at different times), attempting to approach the Truth, have revolutionized painting. It's almost like a gypsy for the lives of these destitute men ready to sacrifice everything for their art. And in this quest for modernity, ZOLA offered even a disguised self-portrait through the character of a writer who tries, against critics, and reinventing the novel to construct a vast cycle where heredity, environment and historical circumstances explain human behavior.

A novel and exciting about the artist at work or Zola succeeds in accounting for the writing of this modernity that tries to capture his character, through descriptions of scenes of crowds, the lights of Paris, movements on the web . Amusing that in her ardor ZOLA comes to lyricism sometimes a bit too much , while it is exactly that blames the writers Romantic.

His work has been presented in Canada, France, Brazil, Lebanon and on the Web.

François Quévillon’s work explores the complex phenomena of nature and perception by putting into play processes that are subject to interference by both the spectators and variable environmental conditions. He distinguishes himself through the creation of acoustic, visual and haptic environments which invite visitors into perceptual situations which they can influence. His in situ architectural installations and creations integrate interactive devices which permit matter to be modulated by data and energy fluctuations. In tandem with these concrete experiences, situated in time and space, he explores the actual representation of spatiotemporal phenomena. To be able to investigate a world in constant flux, he has devised systems of imagery which compress and spatialise time through the coalescence and treatment of videographic micro-samples. His current investigations make use of geomatics and the Internet to visualize environmental data in real time.
His creations vary in their formal and aesthetic design and initiate processes of atomization and transduction stimulated by interfaces with environmental data. The permeability produced through the interaction of logical approaches and unpredictable elements creates spaces which extend towards an indeterminate horizon.

Do Chicken Poc Make You Infertile

Play it again, Paul

Sunset Park, Auster

We all have something in us, Paul Auster ...

He had left a year ago barely ( here) and yet he is already back (in original, certainly, but the translation will be soon). And as always, it works. AUSTER has this gift to create an atmosphere in a few pages, a character, a situation which one is immediately attached. A little music that belongs to him and whose fans (who said groupies?) Never tire. While neglecting the side a little "story within a story within the story" of his later novels, however, he finds his inevitable: a father, a son, Brooklyn. Concentrate Aust.
And yet the novel begins in Florida where miles of a young adult, lives took odd jobs, the latest of emptying the houses that the victims of the financial crisis have had to abandon. Voluntary exile for several years, he fled his parents without giving news and door, as they say in these cases, a dark secret. But chance - another tool of the toolbox austerienne - bring him back to Brooklyn, Sunset Park, where a childhood friend moved into a house neglected. A squat quite comfortable where Miles will meet roommates, who also seem to have put their life on hold. The stories of each of these characters will cross and give life to a small world, it's hard to escape.

In Brooklyn Follies , characters dreamed of a perfect place, a place to realize their desires : The Hotel Existence. In Sunset Park , the inhabitants of the abandoned house, uniting their forces against adversity in various forms, also seem to want to believe in their dreams of becoming an artist, keep the past alive, to find love. Utopia? More ...
Without seeming to touch it, the author also shows how the financial crisis affects the real. Houses abandoned, discarded objects, editors at bay ... But Paul (from the years, I have the right to call him by his first name) works in small steps, by a subtle interplay of elements responding to and create the narrative of his novel. Digressions, reflections on art, the coincidences, a familiar tune ... but still manages to surprise and hope to see happen in the next novel as soon as possible.

2010 Clothes Montreal

closed because

Back among men, Philippe Besson

Homecoming with the young hero of the first novel by Philippe Besson.

"They lived happily and had many of children. "
Unlike fairy tales, most of the novels give us the opportunity to imagine the rest of the story. What happens to these characters, the time of reading, we have brought in their wake? Once the book is closed, they sometimes remain in us, as the memories of those childhood friends that we lose track. So should we or not to proceed with a novel that, initially, did not expect and risking the reunion? This is the question that may arise after reading Back among men Philippe Besson where, ten years after the publication of her first novel In the absence of men gives us news of his young hero. We left
Vincent de L'Étoile, at the age of sixteen, in disarray. In the cocoon of his golden youth of beautiful areas, while the slaying war Europe, he discovered love in the arms of a soldier on leave and at the same time, friendship and delicious ambiguity of the most sensitive worldly, Marcel Proust. But the war had claimed her and Arthur, the loved, the one by whom Vincent's body had revealed himself, fell in battle, leaving her young lover and sorry about the departure. To where? It was the reader to imagine the rest.
I was very touched by this first novel, which reported, with much grace and sensuality, the first stirrings of adolescent love. Writing BESSON, removed, lyrical but controlled rang true (the novels that followed seemed to me more often laborious and not affected). Deciding to read this sequel, it was both want to get a bit of intimacy with the character but also expose themselves to comparison and, as often happens in these cases, to disappointment.

In Back among men, Vincent tells first the slow drift that has, for seven years away from Paris and his family with whom he cut the bridges. Foreign lands, exotic tastes which he barely flavor. The pain of loss has made him a stranger to himself and others and it is in solitude, far from the comforts of Paris, he discovers the world, almost unwittingly following in the footsteps of Rimbaud traveler. And then it will start for the New World, a land of promise where we can reinvent itself and start anew. But we learns quickly, it is impossible to escape his family and his environment and Vincent eventually return to Paris, returning to the void that his years of wandering have been unable to fill.
The first part of the novel is a beautiful travelogue where we find some pleasure with the character of Vincent, solitary, almost mute, a blank page just waiting to be filled. Subsequently, in my case, passes well, and BESSON, wanting to write a novel in the wake of the first, seems to want out at any cost the same patterns (I'll leave it to the effect of household surprise) and finally a bit tired. Ten years ago, I found his writing light, and now it seems increasingly heavy and falsely valuable (the few passages a little sensual curl even literature in rose water). I'm not sure that Besson has radically changed his way of writing. What I am certain that I am no longer the same player a decade ago.
Difficult to advise for or against. Fans of the author's sure to love. Those who read the first in memory may be disappointed.

Escape From Guantanamo Bay Bottomless Party

The picture or the life of artist

Meanwhile Rober Capa , Susana HEAVY

The inspiring story of the short life of the companion of Robert Capa, the photographer Gerta Taro .

A young man, white shirt, bandolier belt and the gun in hand, rolling down a hill and thrown back, in a final movement, arrested at full speed by the impact of a bullet. Everyone has this picture in mind of Robert Capa not only because it represents the ultimate moment of death of a man and the horror of war but also because it was controversial: some argue that it is only staging. Capa subsequently take thousands of photos and will of all conflicts, using his camera as a weapon against the oppressor. Then he founded, with others, the Magnum agency. But this picture is one that can go anywhere and that will haunt him forever.
It took a lot of courage to go to Spain during the civil war was raging. It is precisely for this clash between soldiers Republicans Franco's militias and that this shot was taken. He had more courage even when one was a woman. For more than life Capa is one of Gerta Pohorylle that tells Susanna STRONG. Gerta, a young Polish Jewish émigré, revolves in Parisian intellectual circles. There she met another Jewish refugee, Andrew Friedman, and falls in love with the impetuous young photographer and skinned. It will teach him photography, she learns to manage his image. Together they create the character of Robert Capa, supposedly known American photographer, who will eventually become permanent identity of Andre Friedman. Gerta itself took the name of Gerta Taro. And together, they will leave Spain, see up close the war which caused so many victims. "When I think of all the wonderful people who died during that war, Greta wrote in his diary on the morning of his death, I feel, one way or another, that it is not just that I'm still alive ".
Gerta and Robert are madly in love and yet, motivated both by a terrible need for independence, they often leave for better return. Except once, last ...
"The character of Robert Capa had already caught my attention, relates in his afterword, the English novelist (...) More than once I thought of writing something about his life. It seemed to me that this country, Spain, owed him at least a novel. He owed them for both. For me it was a conviction, as if he was indebted to them ". Behind the beautiful love story in question, raised by a write sober and touching the second world war looming, anti-Semitism that exists already in all of Europe. There is talk also of course the English war, which was so little about and which has attracted so little reaction from neighboring countries at the time. Above it comes to men and women who fought against fascism, which have all their lives defending their ideals and who thought that a good photograph, the most telling testimony of the horror of the world was worth living.

Thank Blog-o-book editions and Heloise Ormesson for this partnership.

Torturing the artist! Joey GOEBEL

Burn your houses, do you drop, fall sick become creative!

Of what unites the greatest artists, the suffering, whether physical or psychological, is a recurrence. It often creates to fill a gap, to express unhappiness, to win against time, against death. So why not give a small boost to fate by putting everything in place to ensure that an artist finds himself faced with many difficult situations, difficult to live and thereby enable it to achieve great things ? This is the challenge - debatable! - Is trying to win the New Renaissance. Toy a powerful industrial society of the spectacle, this secret organization intends to raise the level of mass culture by putting on the market for artists capable of creating powerful and popular works. To do this, open a new Renaissance Academy for the training of child prodigies. And so qu'Harlan met the young Vincent. Officially, Harlan was his manager but in reality it is mainly there to prevent him from becoming happy. And away from his family, killing his dog by setting fire to his house ... Sowing the pain to collect masterpieces ... The

novel tells the story of Vincent in this career that others have decided for him. And it works: the more sad, disappointed by life and by others, it is more creative. Songs, screenplays, television series: everything he does eventually reach a wide audience and enhances the level of American culture is ridden with action films with big budgets and stars Latino buxom ( JLo, if you look at us ...). As you can imagine, the tone is somewhat offset by the author and great fun to play satirizes the entertainment industry, vain and immoral. A book light enough but sometimes, by the effects a little easier and, ultimately, from too much sentimentality, look at what he claimed to criticize.

Who Killed Miss Mini? Sad Clown

little sister, my love , Joyce Carol Oates

After Blonde , where she tackled the myth of Marilyn Monroe, Joyce Carol Oates offers a saga lectures inspired by the murder of a little girl, the United States in the 90s.

You remember, perhaps, like me, this incident has toured the world on Christmas Eve 1996, Jonbenet Rampsey little girl of 6 years, specialist assistance of Miss Mini, was murdered and found several hours later in the cellar of his house. We remember the images broadcast by the media showing a rampaging child and peroxidized brushinguée, strapped in low-necked dresses, makeup and carefully executing a few dance steps or singing a sexy sultry voice a "God Bless America" intended to charm the jury. He had the audacity and talent of Joyce Carol Oates for daring to tackle such a subject and especially to reach do not a thriller but a scabrous novel grandiose and intense breath from beginning to end.
The view chosen is Skyler Rampike, the little brother of victim, the little boy who grimaced at the edges of photos allegedly showing the happiness of the family Rampike, as if about to fall. The boy is now 19 years and is preparing to mark the sad anniversary of ten years of the death of his sister. Lost, lonely, drugged, he tries to tell a story abounding and unstructured greatness and decline of the family Rampike. His book is it an investigation, a catharsis, a confession? We will not know until the end. More
that the girl is probably his mother, Betsey, the protagonist of the book. A woman complexed, nervous and depressed and suffers from not being able to fit into the small American town in which the family moved Rampike. She dreams of making friends size 38 (although it sadly does not fit in a size 44), into the clubs for the region and get invited to Christmas its richer neighbors. But nobody cares about the poor Betsey Rampike until her daughter, Edna Louise small, whiny baby came too soon that Betsey has always strongly disinterested, shows a talent for ... skating. For Joyce Carol Oates has made his character a little skater. Mom Rampsey renames child Bliss ("like a horny pop star" says his brother) and will stop at nothing to advance his career: daily training, hair bleaching, stitching required, hiring a choreographer during modeling and mixes especially doctors, therapists and medications of all kinds. The father Bix Rampike, young manager very dynamic, charming, and authoritarian unfaithful follows far the career of his daughter. A macho bastard, who sometimes overcome with a sudden sense of guilt, the evidence multiplies ostentatious love for his family, before disappearing again (separation? Business trip? Skyler never know very well). And Skyler, the "small man of her mother" is relegated to witness the amazing performance of her sister and suffering of the little girl. Bliss because, when not in the spotlight is a little girl anxious that pees the bed and is unable to learn to read.
The subjects of this book are stolen childhood of a girl bullied by a narcissistic mother and her older brother sacrificed (in many ways ...) but also the story of a puritanical America terribly hypocritical and perfectly guided by propriety and appearances, a company who calls Jesus all the time but stuns his children drug expected to pay for them.
And then there's the ending ... as Joyce Carol Oates imagines a terrible explanation for this unsolved case. A story about the cruelty ordinary extraordinary by an author.

BORAN RICHARD Night blindness, Being expandable
Between the idea and the book published two years have passed. I wanted to change my image ratio, seduction, creation. The visual silence to which I lent me transported to the dream-image: an image that does not show, but suggests that in terms of going beyond the lines, to allow the imagination to see otherwise real. I also wanted to return to the foundation of animation or photography. Indeed, when I make an animated film, I take pictures, lots of photos, and movement - the time? becomes possible in the rapid succession of these images. But then, this movement devours each picture and removes the burden they bear to lose them in turmoil. After all the wandering camera, I note that the term may also exist in an image.
In the last ten years, Boran has developed an artistic practice in animation and photography. His films have been broadcast in more than sixty international events (Canada, USA, Mexico, France, England, Australia, Greece, Israel, Slovenia, Asia). He has participated in various events including visual art Symposium Baie-Saint-Paul in 2006. For three years he worked on various projects in theater and dance as a videographer, lighting designer and stage designer. In 2011, we may see a short film festival presented at Insight's short film, co-directed by Alain Corneau and he made the video for the play's meaning
Heading Theatre, presented in February. In July 2011, he will spend six months in Montreal in Montreal studio CALQ to make a dance film animation.

Message On Christening



Man-Alphabet Richard GROSSMAN

A thriller writing feverish ends up tired.

Clyde Wayne Franklin has any passion for a U.S. company eager to spectacular: it is both a murderer and poet. Sentenced for the murder of his father (and perhaps also that of his mother), he spent twenty years behind bars, the time to become a huge controversial poet and transform his body into very purpose of poetry: all letters of the alphabet (except two) are tattooed. So it became a free man, he received the call with Barbie, his girlfriend, an ex-prostitute embedded in a story of blackmail involving nearly a senator who has the wind in their sails. But the thread of the story is as short-circuited by another voice, that of a strange clown, sort of double delusional Clyde that appears when it is the victim of one of his many blackout . The clown brings to consciousness snippets of childhood Clyde, her violent father, her mother's passivity and worrying that sex games they were engaged to their son. The text then seems to explode, taking the letters (in a remarkable exercise in typography) power in a strange way.

All the ingredients were there to make this book a great thriller, but unfortunately I missed. By trying to lose readers in the spirit bubble and unbridled character, GROSSMAN finally tired. So yes, it is original, the writing is of incredible density but, and it is here that I think is a little bored and what at first seemed to become incredibly powerful, once spent half the book, tedious. The fact remains that we sometimes dizzy (which in itself is rather successful) against the torrents of words that spill out onto the pages. And if I recognize the undeniable qualities of the work of writing, unfortunately I can not say the same of the rest of the book. Too bad because, once again, it was pretty well gone.

The book is not without its defenders, like Keisha or Marianne . While for

Library , Doriane and Mic , opinions are very mixed. We do

thanks not least to the extent Blog-O-Book editions and Le cherche midi.

EXHIBITION January 20 to March 10, 2011
The all new production NATHALIE of GRIMARD presents a series of large photographs showing the struggle of two individuals, two identities involved in a fight involving more than it seems. On black abyssal depth of the bodies which are cut tight muscles and bulging veins testify to the virulence of the confrontation. NATHALIE GRIMARD revisits self-representation by adding this time something more: it seems to be both the perpetrator and the abused, the victorious duelist as well as the subject. The clash of levels of consciousness resonates in the photographs presented as if the artist took the risk of venturing alone in caving galleries unexplored. Winner of Pierre Ayot awarded by the City of Montreal in collaboration with the Association of Contemporary Art Galleries in Montreal (AGAC) in 2001, NATHALIE GRIMARD participated that year in the exhibition Transformations and cloning at the Museum of art contemporain de Montréal. More recently, she participated in the exhibition at the crossroads of art and medicine at the Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University in addition to presenting the solo exhibition at Ground Zero Exhibition Centre de Val d’Or. ***************

Opening
Thursday, January 20, 5 p.m.
Exhibition January 20 - March 10, 2011

In the last few years, NATHALIE GRIMARD has explored themes relating to dreamlike states and vulnerability. In doing so, she questions our awareness about aging and the passage of time. She also worked with the idea of vulnerability through representations of characters presented either falling or jumping. She was interested in visually articulating how the body is fragile in this suspended state or moment.

The most recent production of GRIMARD is presented in Chimères, that is featuring a series of large scale photographs presenting two persons wrestling, two identities engaged in a fight that implies much more that it seems at first glance. On abysmal black backgrounds, two white bodies stand out, muscles tight and bulging veins, proof of the harshness of the battle. Once again, Nathalie Grimard dares to go with self-representation, adding a new duality this time: she seems to be both aggressor and victim, winner and subdued at the same time. The many conscience levels clash as if the artist was taking speleologist risks of going alone in unexplored underground tunnels.

NATHALIE GRIMARD was the recipient of the Pierre-Ayot award in 2001, which is offered by the City of Montreal to promising young artists. That same year, she participated In The Metamorphosis and Cloning group show at Contemporary Art Museum of Montreal. More Recently, She Was In The Crossroads of Art and Medicine Exhibition at Foreman Art Gallery of Bishop's University and Had a solo exhibition at the Centre of Val d'Or.

Baka Blaster Go-carts

The family on the Prairie

Montana 1948 Larry Watson

short novel of initiation and learning the art of son in the Great Plains of Montana.

The novels are set in the great American often have a taste of bitterness, roughness a little wild that gives drama to them play a particular salt (as here). And the small town in Montana where David Hayden lives to live up to the rule. Land out of sight, the Indian reservation, large properties, a world of men and traditions: everything is there. David, twelve years, is the son of the sheriff, a debonair man who practices with regret and with gentleness. Has anyone ever seen a sheriff without a walk without his badge and his gun? David's father could be a lawyer, go to the big city, but the family is one sheriff father to son, tradition means that the patriarch well enforced. The uncle of David himself studied medicine. It is the prodigal son, war hero, highly respected doctor, preferred the patriarch. But when the young Indian who works in the house of David comes to bring serious charges against the uncle loved by all, the cracks of the family come to light and the ties of blood go to assault justice. What to choose: to be faithful to his family or his beliefs? David's father will make heavy decisions, under the eye of his son, this summer, finally left the world of childhood.

In this novel induction written in 1993, the author manages to make quite rightly the eyes of a child twelve years on values and issues of power within his family. The theme of parenthood, fidelity to the father, rivalry between brothers are brought here with great sincerity and simplicity. Even if the style is not the primary quality of the novel, Watson nevertheless managed to create a special atmosphere, heavy with tension and always on the verge of explosion, as if men of this land had kept their enormous all the rage whose nature can be able.

A book found at In Cold Blog who in his post is also part of other reviews blogoboulesques.

What's Wrong With Fakku?

A stranger in paradise

The foreign , Sandor Marai

existential wandering under a blazing sun. Friendly Zweig, Mann and others: be welcome here.

Viktor Henrik Askenazi left Paris for a small station resort on the Adriatic Sea. A "very small place, a refuge, a punishment? Urged by his entourage, Askenazi has gone on holiday to take a distance from a situation that began to trouble the conventions of polite society of the interwar period. How can a man installed, scholar, he could leave on a whim wife and child moved to a hotel with a dancer? A semi-socialite, a cocotte, a stranger. Can we speak of passionate love? Not sure. Askenazi, after exploring its sides possibilities offered by the body, left the dancer, doubting to have found in this sensual odyssey answers to questions that assail. A period of doubt and angst.

The first pages of this novel written in 1934 are dazzling mastery. Writing Marai, Hungarian writer, it portrays a little worn bourgeois society struggling with the heat lead. A world of appearances and narrow sense - it is far from the roaring twenties - which denotes Askenazi deeply. Following the novel offers introspection the character who tries to understand and calm their anxieties. He returned to the meeting with the dancer, the reactions of those around him and what we now call depression. Things and beings are no longer sense the crowd seems a mass ready to pillory those who try to extract it, heat scale and madness lurking.
In reading this novel, is obviously thinking of other authors of Mitteleuropa who have dedicated their works to the description of how modern man: ZWEIG, Kafka and Mann (and especially its Death in Venice which we find here the heat and unreason). The character who gradually becomes aware of the absurdity of his existence will also think of Meursault and it is amusing to note that the course of it looks strong enough to the hero of The foreign . (Note that the title orginał, "A Sziget" ("The Island") is, in my opinion, but certainly less Camusian much more faithful to the novel).
style Marai promptly impose a total intimacy with the character while managing to keep a certain distance which, fortunately, sometimes out of the gravity of the philosophical journey. It is ultimately a human portrait of a rich, Tough but a terrible accuracy. A novel

advised by Yohan .

Merry Christmas! Good news

Nothing like recovering from New Year celebrations than to read the fifteenth novel by Jennifer Johnston: family Christmas. Or see how Christmas otherwise ...

The family in question is found in this Christmas Eve at the bedside of Henry. You learn very quickly that it suffered a terrible car accident and he will recover. But who is Henry? Gradually, the reader and the character himself - the latter has lost some memory - will get to know this loving husband and fickle, this father loved but not always measure up, the son of both adulation and cursed. Relatives appear, by turns at his bedside: his first wife, Stephanie, dynamic woman who does not know what to think of the state of one who broke her heart some years ago and the role it is expected to play, his daughter, Ciara, beautiful redhead who fervently expresses the joy of find a father she has not seen for a long time, his son Donough, who has just come out courageously, his brother, George, with whom Henry has fallen out for some mysterious reason that there are many years and his mother, Tash, woman painter, independent and flamboyant, which has always preferred his paintings to his son and begins to feel come the first signs of old age and finally, the beautiful Jeremy's brother, his second wife, died in the accident and that he can not remember strangely.
All the ingredients of a disastrous Christmas, so where should emerge more family secrets, old grudges and blows the lowest. Yet the subtlety of Jennifer Johnston made sure that all the cliches are avoided. No family feuds, no turkey that flies over the table, not the least glass of wine thrown in the face of another. The characters family Christmas will instead take advantage of what this strange time for Christmas getting closer, to discover, find and recover to live.
No melodrama either, however: the snow does not fall at midnight, or the chimes to ring. There is not even, strictly speaking, a happy ending. Pathos, Jennifer JOHNSTON prefer comedy, although it is sometimes jarring.
Let's add to that numerous references to Shakespeare (the original title is also fatal Absurd, the famous phrase Dream of a Summer Night ), a breathless narrative made of short chapters alternating between the different points view and the retrospections As Henry recovers memory, a statement on the Irish society of today and existential questions about identity (possibly sexual) character (references to Shakespeare always?).
short, a book that makes us say that next year, I promise, it will go without a priori Eve!
