        The Kids Pay The Price

        by Camille K.

        Ninon is only eight years old but she knows that something is wrong with her mother. She is an alcoholic. Her father wants to keep it a secret and none of the other adults believe her. They brush it off as some welldeserved fun. But they don’t see her mother coming home every evening and opening a bottle, they don’t see her collapsing in the middle of the day, they don’t see the liquor she hides in her children’s bedrooms. How can Ninon love a mother she doesn’t recognize? A mother whom she sees as an animal when she is under the influence of alcohol?

        Chameleon

        Here come the Aspie girls!

        by Christine Deroin,Gilles Martinez

        Alice is a teenager everyone has always described as high-potential without recognizing the depth of her discomfort. Moving and changing middle schools throws her for a loop, bringing out these aspects of her personality. Her admiration for Fanny, star of the class, and her desire to be like her just to be loved, will endanger her and send her world spinning. Asperger syndrome is rarely diagnosed in children, but doing so earlier would not only help teenage girls who have it thrive, but also those around them learn to accept it.

      • Tantalum's rule

        by Claudio Forti

        Una luce penetrante. Un uomo confuso recuperato dalla polizia. E tante, troppe cornacchie.  Norman Barclay è un dirigente di successo, uso a tutti gli agi di New York, ma da quattro anni non dorme più. Le sue notti sono devastate dal ricordo ancora vivido di quella luce e alleviate solo dalle inebrianti prostitute di Madame Trilly. L’improbabile equilibrio è rotto da un uomo grigio e misterioso: John Smith. Così anonimo da non lasciare alcuna traccia di sé, se non un enigmatico biglietto da visita: ‘Professor Jeremy Kalwinsky, psicopatologo della memoria’.  Sarà un secondo biglietto, lascito di una coinvolgente notte d’amore, a spingere Norman a cercare l’aiuto di Kalwinsky per sbarazzarsi dei ricordi che lo tormentano. Insieme al sollievo dell’oblio arriverà però una inattesa discesa negli inferi dei dimenticati. Qui Barclay scoprirà una grigia verità ben più inquietante dei ricordi...
