Par Martine Audet. 2019
Suie, pleurs, étoiles, neiges et quelques floraisons, le poème n'est-il pas, comme les cendres, ce que l'on recueille avant la…
dispersion? Et le geste, le souffle du poète, celui d'un laveur/laveuse de cendres? Dans un enchaînement de glissements, de heurts et d'abandons, et sans jamais éviter le coeur, les poèmes de La société des cendres tentent de dégager l'empreinte, volatile certes, mais néanmoins fascinante, des tumultes, éclats et mystères de notre présence autant que de notre absence à l'autre et au monde. La deuxième partie, Des lames entières (d'abord paru en livre d'artiste avec des gravures de François-Xavier Marange), s'attarde, quant à elle, à ce qui construit ou entrave les mouvements parfois tranchants, parfois de fond, du comment être, à même la perte et ses souffrances, pour ouvrir un passage, entre désir et peur, à de possibles métamorphoses.Uiesh, Quelque part (Poésie)

Par Martin Walker. 2012
Another delectable serving of mystery and the pleasures of the Dordogne from the newest master of suspense, Martin Walker. It'…
s spring in the idyllic village of St. Denis, and for Chief of Police Bruno CourrEges that means lamb stews, bottles of his beloved Pomerol, morning walks with his hound, Gigi— and a new string of regional crimes and international capers. When a local archaeological team looking for Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal remains turns up a corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, it' s up to Bruno to solve the case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate eager to make a strong impression, an ongoing series of attacks by animal rights activists on local foie gras producers, and a nearby summit between France and Spain approaching— not to mention two beautiful, brilliant women vying for Bruno' s affections. Complicating events even further, the professor in charge of the dig is soon reported missing, leading Bruno to suspect that the past and the present are bound up in dangerous ways. As summer approaches, the wine growing cooler and the fruit sweeter, Bruno's investigations take him indelibly deeper into contemporary Europe' s dark history of terrorist and counterterrorist tactics— and toward a dramatic finale. As savory as foie gras, as piquant as vin de noix, and as richly complex as the region' s truffles, The Crowded Grave is a feast for mystery lovers and Francophiles alike.Athenian Blues

Par Harri Nykanen, Kristian London. 2004
'Nykänen's twist on Nordic crime fiction may be the most inventive of the year. Ariel Kafka, a middle-aged bachelor, is…
a detective in Helsinki (think early Harry Hole) and, as far as he knows, the only Jew on the entire Helsinki police force, which is why he's picked to head up the investigation of a series of murders that began with two Arabic-looking men who may have been shouting Jewish obscenities as they died. Set during the days leading up to Yom Kippur, this complex tale moves quickly, as Ari attempts to figure it all out. With pressure from his colleagues, police administration, his brother, and the local Jewish community, can he uncover everything before the holiest day in the Jewish calender? The clever combination of classic Jewish themes with the traditions of Nordic crime makes for a refreshing tale with wide appeal. And the subtle humor, combined with a hero who is not completely depressed and alcoholic, makes it even better. Not just for readers of Nordic fiction, this should also be suggested to those who relate to New York Jewish detectives, including Lenny Briscoe (from Law & Order) and John Munch (from Homicide and Law & Order: SVU), as well as readers who enjoy the black humor of Stuart MacBride.' BooklistHarri Nykänen, born in Helsinki in 1953, was a well-known crime journalist before turning to fiction. He won the Finnish crime writing award The Clue in 1990 and in 2001. His fiction exposes the local underworld through the eyes of the criminal, the terrorist, and, most recently, from the point of view of an eccentric Helsinki police inspector.
