and committed relationships and how they have challenged, shaped, supported and changed them. The stories and poems in this collection delve deep into the mysteries of long-term bonds. The authors cover a gamut of issues and ideas--everything from everyday conflicts to deep philosophical divides, as well as jealousy, adultery, physical or mental illness, and loss. There's happiness here too, along with love and companionship, whether the long-term partnering is monogamous, polyamorous, same-sex or otherwise. From surprise proposals, stolen quickies, and snoring to arranged marriage, affairs, suicide, and much more, these wide-ranging personal stories and poems are sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, and always engaging as they offer their intimate and varied insights into the complex state that is marriage. 2018.An evening with W.O.

plus grands écrivains québécois du XIXe siècle. D'où l'intérêt de la présente anthologie, préparée par Laurent Mailhot et accueillie par un concert de louanges. Les pages et chapitres (chroniques intérieures; histoire, politique, polémique; critique; fragments sous forme de dictionnaire; etc) permettent au lecteur de juger de la vivacité, de la variété et du caractère audacieux d'une oeuvre, d'abord censurée, puis méconnue. Il est grand temps de découvrir cet attachant polémiste dont la seule ambition a été, peut-être, d'étonner ses contemporains par son style. c1978, 1994.The knitting diaries: An Anthology

courtisé son épouse. Mais il fit aussi pendre les douze servantes de Pénélope qu'il accusa de l'avoir trahi. Dans cette relecture originale du mythe grec que nous propose Margaret Atwood, Pénélope, hantée par la mort de ses servantes, raconte depuis les Enfers sa propre version de l'histoire, celle d'une femme, d'une épouse, d'une mère et surtout d'une reine bien plus lucide et plus forte que ce que les hommes ont voulu croire jusqu'à aujourd'hui. -- 4e de couvÉtats d'homme (Parcours)

obsessionnels, inséparables de sa vie : la dictature de limage, limpossibilité dun rapport innocent à soi-même, le culte vertigineux de la jeunesse, et son envers : la pulsion de mort, qui anime souterrainement les sociétés modernes. Passé le temps du scandale et celui de lémotion, voici donc les derniers échos dune œuvre aussi éblouissante que brève. Burqa de chair : titre terrible, qui agit avec la force dun boomerang en regard de certains débats actuels. On trouvera assemblés ici trois inédits : La robe , Lenfant dans le miroir et La honte . Les deux premiers sont écrits à la première personne, dans ce phrasé tourbillonnant, suffocant, qui était sa marque singulière, celle dun écrivain en danger . Dans le troisième texte, elle décortique avec une inépuisable férocité son expérience humiliante sur un plateau de télévision. " -- 4e de couvKalila and Dimna
Par Nasrullah Munshi. 2019
"This masterful translation of one of the most popular books of world literature makes available to an English readership the…
animal tales known collectively as Kalila and Dimna. Named after the two jackals of Pancatantra fame, this collection of stories is based on a 12th-century Persian translation of an 8th-century original Arabic rendition by Ibn al-Muqaffa‘. Set within a frame narrative of counsels given to the Raja of India by his Brahmin minister, the engaging tales about cats and mice, storks and crabs, tortoises and geese, owls and crows, and princes and ascetics, function as cautionary illustrations of human predicaments and all-too-human vices and virtues. Far from being a collection of children’s fables, Kalila and Dimna is a Machiavellian mirror for princes containing advice on how to preserve oneself from one’s enemies and get ahead at court and in life. The dialogues that constitute the bulk of the narrative harbor a dramatic immediacy, exerting a powerful effect even on a modern-day reader." —Maria Subtelny, University of TorontoPersonhood
Par Thalia Field. 2021
A remarkable and moving cross-genre work about animal rights by one of America’s foremost experimental writers Whether investigating refugee parrots,…
indentured elephants, the pathetic fallacy, or the revolving absurdity of the human role in the "invasive species crisis," Personhood reveals how the unmistakable problem between humans and our nonhuman relatives is too often the derangement of our narratives and the resulting lack of situational awareness. Building on her previous collection, Bird Lovers, Backyard, Thalia Field's essayistic investigations invite us on a humorous, heartbroken journey into how people attempt to control the fragile complexities of a shared planet. The lived experiences of animals, and other historical actors, provide unique literary-ecological responses to the exigencies of injustice and to our delusions of special status.Here be leviathans

eating a teenager. A hotel room participates in an unlikely conception. A genetically altered platypus colony puts on an art show. A sabretooth tiger falls for the new addition to his theme park. An airline seat laments its last useful day. A Shakespearean monkey test pilot launches into space. The stories in Here Be Leviathans take us from the storm drains under Las Vegas to the Alaskan wilderness; the rainforests of Queensland to the Chilean coastline.Vanishing Acts

&“A diverse and thoughtful array of 16 stories written around the theme of endangered species—be they human or animal, mythical…
or alien.&” —Publishers Weekly In this poignant yet uplifting anthology about extinction, science fiction stories draw you into compelling, adventurous, and even humorous tales that will make you think about the future of animals, humanity, and the world around us. You&’ll find bugs and buffalo, humans and aliens, creatures that have never existed in our universe and genetically-engineered ones that shouldn&’t. In &“Seventy-Two Letters&” by national bestselling author Ted Chiang—praised by Strange Horizons as &“one of the finest representations of the SF subgenre of steampunk&”—a discovery reveals that humanity has only a fixed number of generations to survive. A project is embarked upon that could save the species—or open it up to a most inhuman manipulation. A Joe Haldeman poem called &“Endangered Species&” encapsulates his concerns about war and its effect on the human race. And in &“Listening to Brahms&” by Suzy McKee Charnas, the last humans alive make first contact with an alien race of lizard-like creatures who appropriate Earth culture at their own peril. In Vanishing Acts, these tales and others &“make the reader stop and think about endangered species—including humanity—which is, after all, the point&” (Rambles.NET). &“[A] splendid new original anthology.&” —The Washington Post
