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!

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/.
