Par Fanny Britt. 2020
L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur, paraît-il, mais ne donne-t-il pas l'occasion de s'arrêter, de "penser à soi" ? Comment…
ne pas voir l'absurdité de cette affirmation, "penser à soi", comme si ce n'était pas ce que nous faisons déjà la majorité du temps ? Dans ce roman choral sur la dislocation progressive d'un couple, Fanny Britt creuse sans merci la question de nos privilèges. On y rencontre Adam et Marion, dont la vie auréolée de succès sera mêlée à celle de Celia, qui a compris quelque chose du monde qu'ils ne savent pas encore. Faire les sucres parcourt d'un pas vif le Montréal prospère des foodies et des artistes du divertissement, visite une fabrique de bonbons salés sur l'île de Martha's Vineyard au Massachusetts, assiste aux répétitions d'une chorale anglophone, et écoute monter l'eau dans les arbres d'une érablière de la région d'OkaMercy, Mercy

Par Nadifa Mohamed. 2021
Mahmood Mattan is a fixture in Cardiff's Tiger Bay, 1952, which bustles with Somali and West Indian sailors, Maltese businessmen…
and Jewish families. He is a father, chancer, petty criminal. He is a smooth-talker with rakish charm and an eye for a good game. He is many things, but he is not a murderer. So when a shopkeeper is brutally killed and all eyes fall on him, Mahmood isn't too worried. Since his Welsh wife Laura kicked him out for racking up debts he has wandered the streets more often, and there are witnesses who allegedly saw him enter the shop that night. But Mahmood has escaped worse scrapes, and he is innocent in this country where justice is served. Love lends him immunity too- the fierce love of Laura, who forgives his gambling in a heartbeat, and his children. It is only in the run-up to the trial, as the prospect of returning home dwindles, that it will dawn on Mahmood that he is in a fight for his life - against conspiracy, prejudice and cruelty - and that the truth may not be enough to save him.Querelle of Roberval (Biblioasis International Translation Series #39)
Par Kevin Lambert. 2022
As a millworkers’ strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workers—but…
when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genet’s antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of France’s Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.The General of Tiananmen Square: An Ava Lee Novel: The Triad Years (An Ava Lee Novel #15)
