L'Assassin du dimanche

A fable of political violence taken from today's headlines.

A Fable

Disorder

Although many practice the art, contemporary French women poets generally have been vastly underrepresented in periodicals and anthologies. In the only anthology to feature avant-garde French women poets exclusively, Gavronsky shows how Kaplan, Grangaud, Portugal, Lapeyrere, Giraudon, and Risset differ from their American counterparts. Before presenting his translations of the poems, Gavronsky gives each poet the opportunity to define herself in terms of major influences on her poetry, distinctive traits in her writing, major themes in her work, and the influence of gender on her art. The poets also speculate about the relative underrepresentation of women poets in French periodicals and anthologies as well as about the form poetry might take in the twenty-first century. The poems in this volume are simultaneously delightful, informative, and combative. They typify, according to Gavronsky, some of the main currents of a poetics in the making, a poetics little known in the United States. In reaffirming women s involvement with poetry, Gavronsky believes that he has "reconnected today s work with an immemorial tradition that, in France, clearly goes back to [the] Middle Ages.""

Six Contemporary French Women Poets

"Make Love Whenever Possible When Married With Children" is playful and poignant with spirited vignettes like "Seduce your spouse with humor," "Be a flasher," and "Experience the post-vasectomy sexual renaissance." Leslie Mancillas and Peg Melnik teamed up to write the book based on the following prescription program for staying sane within the madness of family life: 1. Be an opportunist. Make love whenever possible. 2. Date your spouse. Don't put off dating for two decades until your kids are conveniently in college. 3. Tend to your spouse. Even adults need to be nurtured. 4. Plan for chaos. 5. Become a top-flight negotiator. Marriage is one long, unwieldy negotiation. Keep closing the deal. 6. Keep close to your spirit. Find ways to nurture yourself. The co-authors firmly believe couples are living their most challenging years when they have children under their roof. Parents inhabit a different world than do those without children, one ruled by the needs of small people. The sheer responsibility that comes with parenthood can, over time, complicate even the healthiest marriage. While the divorce rate in America is at an astonishing 62 percent, staying happily married with children is not an insurmountable challenge as long as you realize it requires a kind of vigilance. It requires perspective, insight and, most importantly, the energy to keep a strong connection with your spouse. The authors use wisdom and wit to detail valuable tips drawn from their own experiences both positive and negative. The book is broken into six chapters, with a series of vignettes approximately one to three pages in length. Some of the more visual scenes from the book include playing hooky with your spouse, renewing marriage vows at Notre Dame and absent-mindedly driving to work with a plateful of cookies flying off the roof of the car, littering the road. Mancillas and Melnik's 100-page survival guide will no doubt be a compelling read, the best-selling bible for the married-with-kids crowd.

Educational Foundations

In this brilliant and hilarious political novella, Leslie Kaplan imagines a series of unconnected crimes occurring throughout France. In each, a subordinate kills someone in a superior position over them—typically with an object used in their work, be it wiring in an auto shop, a huge sack of coffee, or a blackboard eraser. While these acts (no explanation is ever given by the criminals) clearly have a class-related character, the media and public figures are loathe to admit that class struggle still exists. Their denial of reality creates another thread in this joyful, dark satire: the fumbling of “experts” who mobilize theory after theory in order to analyze what is happening without admitting that the events could have any political content.

Una apasionante novela en la que el lector se adentra en la cámara secreta donde se confiesan los miedos, los deseos, la ira..., y donde también se puede encontrar la salvación, donde es posible la reconciliación.

Nous avons tous un rapport particulier avec le train, des souvenirs d'échappées belles, de rencontres cocasses, de paysages qui défilent, de baisers échangés sur un quai de gare, de voyages qui ont changé une vie... C'est le cas d'une trentaine de plumes de la littérature française, qui souhaitent intervenir, au moyen de la fiction, en soutien à la grève engagée par les cheminots. Car la lutte des cheminots n'est pas une lutte corporatiste, elle cristallise au contraire l'idéal de solidarité, concrétisé par des services publics, de tout un peuple. Avec Patrick Bard, Agnès Bihl, Laurent Binet, Geneviève Brisac, Bernard Chambaz, Didier Daeninckx, Abdelkader Djemaï, Bruno Doucey, Annie Ernaux, Pascale Fautrier, Patrick Fort, Valentine Goby, Nedim Gürsel, Hédi Kaddour, Leslie Kaplan, Jean-Marie Laclavetine, Lola Lafon, Hervé Le Corre, Sandra Lucbert, Mako, Roger Martin, Guillaume Meurice, Gérard Mordillat, François Morel, Grégoire Polet, Jean-Bernard Pouy, Patrick Raynal, Alix de Saint-André, Danièle Sallenave, Jean-Marc Salmon, Alain Serres, Shumona Sinha, Murielle Szac, Tardi, Carole Trébor et Philippe Videlier.
