Par Bernard Werber. 2003

les apprivoiser ? Peut-on discuter avec eux comme avec des égaux ? Telles sont les questions que peuvent se poser les extra-terrestres à notre égard. Pour en avoir le cœur net, ils kidnappent deux Terriens, un mâle et une femelle, Raoul et Samantha. Ils les installent, pour les étudier tranquillement, dans une cage à humains. Une " humainière ". Ils espèrent ainsi assister à une reproduction en captivité. Le problème, c'est que Raoul est un scientifique misanthrope et Samantha une dompteuse de tigres romantique. Pas simple dans ce cas pour nos deux cobayes de se comprendre et, a fortiori, de s'aimer... Avec cet ouvrage, rédigé comme un huis clos philosophique, Bernard Werber nous présente une nouvelle facette de son art. Une fois de plus, il nous propose de prendre un peu de recul, d'avoir une perspective différente pour comprendre l'humanité " autrement ".Nobody knows my name: more notes of a native son

our day-lit selves to visit a place where the dream-like and the nightmarish are never far apart.

Par Pamela Paul. 2017
For twenty-eight years, Pamela Paul has been keeping a diary that records the books she reads, rather than the life…
she leads. Or does it? Over time, it's become clear that this Book of Books, or Bob, as she calls him, tells a much bigger story. For Paul, books reflect her inner life-- her fantasies and hopes, her dreams and ideas. And her life, in turn, influences which books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, diversion or self-reflection, information or entertainment. "My Life with Bob" isn't about what's in those books; it's about the relationship between books and readers. A testament to the power of books to provide the perspective, courage, companionship, and ultimately self-knowledge to forge our own path. 2017.My Ariel

Winner of the 2018 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry (QWF). 2017.Ten short years ago, Barack Obama became president of the United States, and changed the course of history. Ten short…
years ago, our America was hailed globally as a breathtaking example of democracy, as a rainbow coalition of everyday people marching to the same drum beat. We had finally overcome. But did we? Both the presidencies of Obama and Donald Trump have produced some of the ugliest divides in history: horrific racial murders, non-stop mass shootings, the explosion of attacks on immigrants and on the LGBTQ community, the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, a massive gap between the haves and the have-nots, and legions of women stepping forth to challenge sexual violence-and men-in all forms. In this collection of 13 essays, the author interweaves brutally honest personal stories with the saga of America, then and now. 2018.My people, myself
Par Mary Lawrence. 1996
