The biker who shot me: recollections of a crime reporter
Par Michel Auger, Jean-Paul Murray. 2001

oiseaux du jeu Angry Birds, lancés à pleine vitesse sur de frêles maisons, ne ressemblent-ils pas à de furieux terroristes ? Avec une ironie hors du commun, Etgar Keret relate sept années de sa vie à Tel-Aviv : la naissance de son fils, l'histoire de sa soeur ultra-orthodoxe et de ses onze enfants, les chauffeurs de taxi irascibles, ses parents rescapés de l'Holocauste, les tournées littéraires mouvementées... et l'attitude peu banale qu'il convient d'adopter lors d'une alerte à la bombe. Etgar Keret offre dans ces chroniques intimes une étonnante radiographie de ses contemporains, où l'émotion et l'humour se conjuguent à tous les temps de l'insolence. " -- 4e de couv.

carnets de notes. À l'écran, ils faisaient partie de l'image. Quand Marc Laurendeau m'a invité à participer à sa magnifique série radiophonique Nos témoins sur la ligne de feu, consacrée aux correspondants de Radio-Canada à l'étranger, j'ai eu envie de redécouvrir et de raconter, à travers les anecdotes tirées de ces carnets, les grands moments de mes expéditions sur la planète, quitte à en être bouleversé. Durant ma vie de journaliste, j'ai couvert deux référendums qui ont déchiré les Québécois. J'ai vu des foules gagner leur liberté, contre l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud, contre l'empire soviétique en Europe. J'ai vu les enfants palestiniens contre les chars israéliens, les Arabes contre leurs dictateurs. J'ai vu les Chinois rejeter Mao pour partir à la conquête du monde. J'ai vu la guerre, au Liban, en Irak, en Iran, en Afghanistan. J'ai vu le monde changer. 2014.Tête haute

Par Rod Dreher. 2017
American Christianity is in decline. From the outside, churches are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing…
culture. From the inside, they are being hollowed out by the departure of young people and a watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Conservative Christian political influence has collapsed. Confused and frightened Christians wonder: What went wrong? What's next? Do we have a future in post-Christian America? Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back--all the way back to Saint Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the decadence of Rome, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians under Barbarian rule. He and his fellow monks built resilient communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. By creating spiritual centres of hope that were strongholds of light through the Dark Ages, they saved not just Christianity, but Western Civilization. "The Benedict option" is the guide for Christians under siege today. 2017.The best of E.M. Bounds on prayer
