Dans ma peau

Auteure: Yasmin Zaher

Nombre de pages: 227

C’est une jeune Palestinienne qui vit à New York. Elle enseigne dans un collège. Elle a un amant, Sasha. Mais ses vrais amis s’appellent Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Valentino, Prada. Et Hermès (elle a un faible pour les sacs Birkin). Elle semble blasée, elle est surtout perdue. C’est pourquoi, sans doute, elle s’acharne à purifier son corps de la saleté qui – pense-t-elle – le souille en permanence. Elle ne sait pas encore qu’elle est au seuil d’une métamorphose qui va la changer profondément et lui permettre de découvrir sa vraie nature. Avec ce premier roman en forme de conte moral, Yasmin Zaher parie sur son sens de l’humour, son insolence, son goût pour le paradoxe… et remporte la mise. Traduit de l’anglais (États-Unis) par Céline Leroy Yasmin Zaher est née à Jérusalem. Elle a suivi des études en ingénierie biomédicale à Yale avant de devenir journaliste. Également diplômée de la New School en littérature, elle a remporté le prix Dylan Thomas avec Dans ma peau. Elle vit à Paris.

Winner of the Swansea Dylan Thomas Prize A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A bold and unabashed novel about a young Palestinian woman's unraveling as she teaches at a New York City middle school, gets caught up in a scheme reselling Birkin bags, and strives to gain control over her body and mind The Coin’s narrator is a wealthy Palestinian woman with impeccable style and meticulous hygiene. And yet the ideal self, the ideal life, remains just out of reach: her inheritance is inaccessible, her homeland exists only in her memory, and her attempt to thrive in America seems doomed from the start. In New York, she strives to put down roots. She teaches at a school for underprivileged boys, where her eccentric methods cross boundaries. She befriends a homeless swindler, and the two participate in an intercontinental scheme reselling Birkin bags. But America is stifling her—her willfulness, her sexuality, her principles.

In an unforgettable denouement, her childhood memories converge with her material and existential...

Some of Them Will Carry Me

Auteure: Giada Scodellaro

Nombre de pages: 144

“This is a book of wonders, full of intricate beauty, and Giada Scodellaro is an extraordinary talent.” —Katie Kitamura Giada Scodellaro’s debut is a fiercely original collection of stories ranging in length, style, and tone—a collage of social commentary, surrealism, recipes, folklore, art— that centers Black women in moments of imminent change. In language that is lyrical, minimal, and often absurd, the diverse stories in Some of Them Will Carry Me deconstruct intimacy while building a surprising, unnerving new reality of language, culture, consumption, and loss.

Lucky Dogs

Auteure: Helen Schulman

Nombre de pages: 337

AN OPRAH DAILY BEST NOVEL OF THE YEAR • The paths of two women on opposite ends of a high-profile sexual abuse scandal set them on a devastating collision course. "Part thriller, part Hollywood satire, Lucky Dogs is a brash, sometimes heartbreaking saga in which trauma and self-preservation converge across decades and continents. This is Helen Schulman's best novel yet."—Jennifer Egan, best-selling author of A Visit from the Goon Squad and The Candy House On a sultry summer night in Paris, two women meet in line at an ice cream kiosk on the Ile de la Cité. One is tall, fair, striking, with an indeterminate accent. The other, a troubled American TV star, is hiding her beauty and identity under a shapeless sweatshirt, wearing sunglasses even in the darkness. When leering male tourists hassle the pair, the blonde pulls out a knife and a sisterhood is born. Both women have been victims of male violence, and both are warriors—one trained and calculating, one instinctually ferocious. They each think they know who they are dealing with. But both are very, very wrong. In a story that unfolds with unexpected humor and the pace of a thriller, acclaimed novelist Helen Schulman lays...

Das Buch nach dem Welterfolg: Die britisch-nigerianische Autorin Oyinkan Braithwaite legt fünf Jahre nach »Meine Schwester, die Serienmörderin« das stilistisch weit davon entfernte, aber nicht minder fesselnde Epos »Der Fluch der Falodun Frauen« vor, in dem die junge Eniiyi in Lagos mit einem Traumata über Generationen zwischen Aberglauben und Weisheit, Schicksal und Selbstbestimmung konfrontiert wird; für sein schillerndes Generationenepos »Lázár« lässt sich der 22-jährige Schweizer Nelio Biedermann vom Leben seiner adeligen ungarischen Vorfahren inspirieren; und zwei eindringliche Romane von Susanne Röckel und Anatoli Kusnezow rufen das Massaker von Babyn Jar in Erinnerung. Fantasie braucht es nicht nur für literarische Glanzstücke, sondern auch für zukunftsfähiges Denken. Wie könnte eine weniger dystopisch anmutende Zukunft der Gesellschaft aussehen? Wir stellen dazu sechs aktuelle Sachbücher mit sieben Thesen vor. Die aktuelle Bachmann-Preisträgerin Natascha Gangl macht mit ihrer neuen Sammlung an Sprechtexten dort weiter, wo ihr Gewinnertext aufhörte, und unser Eingekreist-Schwerpunkt mit Büchern zu Kulinarik zeigt die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, mit ...
