Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2022Kate Atkinson
by Armelle Parey
This timely in-depth study of award-winning Kate Atkinson's work provides a welcome comprehensive overview of the novels, play and short stories. It explores the major themes and aesthetic concerns in her fiction. Combining close analysis and literary contextualisation, it situates her multi-faceted work in terms of a hybridisation of genres and innovative narrative strategies to evoke contemporary issues and well as the past. Chapters offer insights into each major publication (from Behind the Scenes at the Museum to Big Sky, the latest instalment in the Brodie sequence, through the celebrated Life After Life and subsequent re-imaginings of the war) in relation to the key concerns of Atkinson's fiction, including self-narrativisation, history, memory and women's lives.

February 2021Her Last Chance
by Armel Job
“Armel Job excels in revealing the souls of each one of his characters, transforming a simple story into a Greek tragedy.” Femme Actuelle magazine. At 39, Elise is single and lives with her sister, a reputable gynecologist, and her brother-in-law, a real estate agent. She takes care of their house and their four children and her life passes by with unchanging rhythm. As long as she can remember, Elise has lived in her sister’s shadow. From the outside, she seems pathologically shy and is seen as a fragile woman, uncapable of getting by on her own. Suddenly, she goes on a quest to find a man on the internet—and this grain of sand will jam the perfectly oiled machine of this family of bigwigs. What could have gotten into Elise? No one can understand it. She claims she needs to live—that’s all. And no warnings, blackmail, or threats will make her give up on the charming antique dealer she’s just met. Little by little, each protagonist’s secret intentions for this meeting that should not have taken place will be revealed, leaving us to regale in the spectacle of mediocre passions, as well as in rediscovering the best in ourselves—it’s a form of redemption, a theme that has become more and more important to Armel Job in his recent works.

Virus ou la mort des oiseaux
by Dominique Persoons
En sortant de l’hôpital, le docteur Bernard Petersen buta sur un grand corbeau. La taille de l’animal l’impressionna. Il remarqua l’humidité de son plumage et le filet de sang qui s’échappait de son énorme bec. La pensée lui vint que cet oiseau mort n’était pas à sa place et il revint sur ses pas pour avertir la réceptionniste qui rédigea aussitôt une fiche et appela le gardien pour qu’il enlève la carcasse. C’est à partir de ce moment-là que des événements inattendus vinrent troubler la quiétude de la petite ville de Saverne. Si les cigognes venaient à convulser en battant des ailes et que des cadavres de canards étaient emportés en longues files par les rivières et les canaux, alors un grand malheur endeuillerait à nouveau l’Alsace et la Lorraine. Personne n’imaginait que le fléau frapperait tous les habitants du pays et que l’envahisseur était dix mille fois plus petit qu’un cheveu. L’humanité est mise à l’épreuve. Et si la nature reprenait ses droits ? Par ce récit haletant, Dominique Persoons nous livre des réflexions essentielles sur la société, sur les rapports humains et sur la nature.

FictionApril 2018My old guerrilla
by Álvaro Filho
A narrative full of time, memories on the shoulders, rusty bodies smelling of sea air, a testimony of uncertain memories of stories. The novel 'My old guerrilla' tells the story of a exiled writer abroad who returns to hometown (Olinda), mother's request, to try to dissuade the father of the idea of killing the president, who took power after a coup. Alvaro Filho teaches us that we must "silence to hear the wind," time to understand the affection of places and things, calmly swallowing discomfort, and wisdom to understand our ancestry. 'My old guerrilla' is like a reef solid melts into air, and the wind sweeping "flesh, bone, blood, paper and ink."
