Los Angeles, aujourd’hui. La cérémonie des Oscars va commencer. Plus de trois mille personnes dans la salle. Soudain, une explosion. Au cur du chaos, très vite, les rumeurs courent. Julia Roberts, Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino... Qui est mort, qui est blessé ? Dans cet Hollywood qui pleure ses icônes, Angie, une jeune réalisatrice française, Russ, un vieux producteur californien, et Burt, un humoriste new-yorkais, se croisent pendant quelques jours. Entre amours perdues, sidération et passion du cinéma, chacun se demande : de quoi sera fait le futur, sans tous ces visages familiers qui ont façonné nos rêves ?

Enchanted April

Ruth First

Originally published in 1980 and long out of print, this fine work illuminates Schreiner's life and major writings through a portrayal of her "conscious struggles for self-definition" as a novelist, feminist and political activist. Born in 1855 to English missionaries working in Africa, hers was a lonely, self-educated childhood. She worked as a governess during the late 1870s, and when she sailed to England for medical training in 1881, had with her the manuscripts of three novels, including The Story of an African Farm, her best known. She was quickly taken up by London's intellectual circles; Havelock Ellis and Eleanor Marx were among her closest friends. On her return to Africa, Schreiner supported the Boer cause and took what she herself called an "almost painfully intense interest" in empire-builder Cecil Rhodes, although she quickly became disillusioned with both. Abhorring treatment of blacks as an "engine of labour," she became an outspoken advocate for black citizenship; and her Women and Labour published in 1911 reflected a lifetime of thought on "the Woman Question" and became a crucial work for early-20th-century feminists. The authors write insightfully of the split sense of self in a woman who made such an impact yet felt her life a failure.

A Biography

"I walked down the hallway and look in the side bedroom. All my stuff was still there, plus all the little stuff I had in the main room of the house. My fedora was sitting right there with the rest. It has never been moved from the doorbell box before. Noticing this instantly threw up red flags in my mind. I kept thinking, "What's going on? This is weird.""
