Summary:
Artiste urbain internationalement reconnu sous le nom de C215, Christian Guémy livre dans cet ouvrage intime et délicat de subtiles réflexions sur le monde de l’art, la société contemporaine et son parcours créatif. Sous la forme de lettres adressées à un ami et éditeur italience livre donne à entendre la voix d’un homme et d’un artiste sincère. Nourri de références artistiques et culturelles, le texte est écrit d’une plume fine et pertinente. L’auteur y souligne la dérive d’une société fondée sur la mise en scène de sa propre image, et dévoile sa propre volonté d’effacement. Le texte est préfacé par le poète et critique Olivier Barbarant, et commenté et postfacé par Sophie Pujas, écrivaine et scénariste, qui porte un regard bienveillant et analytique sur la parole de son auteur.

À la fois roman de S. F. rétro et autofiction, Pourquoi Bologne est un livre sur la résilience et la littérature comme remède, sur la nécessité de raconter des histoires pour s’en sortir.

Summary:
After Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace—by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching.

Why are books, in all their forms, so very powerful? What do the books we've read over our lives--our own personal libraries--make of us? What does the unravelling of our tradition of public libraries, so hard-won but now in jeopardy, say about us? The stories in Ali Smith's new collection, ''The Library and Other Stories'', are about what we do with books and what they do with us: how they travel with us, friends for life; how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish time while making us older, wiser, and ageless all at once; how they coax us endlessly to unexpected blossom; how they remind us to pay attention to the world we make.
