mind had been clear and adventurous, driving her to experiences which her body could not fully satisfy: as for instance playing the flute with inhibited fingers that were not sinuous enough. But through it all confidence in her own mind supplied a courage to keep her constantly striving towards others to enrich life through sharing and affection. Now she has to put her experiences down modestly and simply; there is no self-pity here, the pain is endured, the stupidity of the world is accepted, but it is not allowed to impinge on the openness and clarity of her mind with rich awareness of values." 1980.When the phone rings, my bed shakes: memoirs of a deaf doctor

Par Grand Corps Malade. 2012
" Il y a une quinzaine d'années, en chahutant avec des amis, le jeune Fabien, pas encore vingt ans, fait…
un plongeon dans une piscine. Il heurte le fond du bassin, dont l'eau n'est pas assez profonde, et se déplace les vertèbres. Bien qu'on lui annonce qu'il restera probablement paralysé à vie, il retrouve peu à peu l'usage de ses jambes après une année de rééducation. Quand il se lance dans une carrière d'auteur-chanteur-slameur, en 2003, c'est en référence aux séquelles de cet accident... On connaît l'immense succès qui suit : trois albums plébiscités par le public et la critique, une distinction de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, qui récompense la qualité de sa plume, toujours subtile et surprenante... Dans son livre, où il se fait pour la première fois auteur d'un récit en prose, il raconte, avec humour, dérision et beaucoup d'émotion, les douze mois passés en centre de rééducation et relate les aventures tragiques mais aussi cocasses vécues par lui et ses colocataires d'infortune. " -- 4e de couv.A mind spread out on the ground
Par Alicia Elliott. 2019
In an urgent and visceral work that asks essential questions about Native people in North America while drawing on intimate…
details of her own life and experience with intergenerational trauma, Alicia Elliott offers indispensable insight and understanding to the ongoing legacy of colonialism. What are the links between depression, colonialism and loss of language--both figurative and literal? How does white privilege operate in different contexts? How do we navigate the painful contours of mental illness in loved ones without turning them into their sickness? How does colonialism operate on the level of literary criticism? A Mind Spread Out on the Ground is Alicia Elliott's attempt to answer these questions and more. In the process, she engages with such wide-ranging topics as race, parenthood, sexuality, love, mental illness, poverty, sexual assault, gentrification, writing and representation. Elliott makes connections both large and small between the past and present, the personal and political--from overcoming a years-long history with head lice to the way Native writers are treated within the Canadian literary industry; her unplanned teenage pregnancy to the history of dark matter and how it relates to racism in the court system; her childhood diet of Kraft dinner to how systematic oppression is linked to depression in Native communities. With deep consideration and searing prose, Elliott extends far beyond her own experiences to provide a candid look at our past, an illuminating portrait of our present and a powerful tool for a better future. Bestseller. Winner of the 2020 Evergreen Award. 2019.
