Résumé:
With the warm ring of the spoken word at their centre, Taqralik Partridge’s poems wrestle with colonisation and racial violence while also reflecting rich sensory imagery—from the stain of blueberries, to the relationships of sisters and aunts, to a knowledge of the land. Originally from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, Quebec, and now living in Kautokeino, Norway, Taqralik Partridge(...)

Résumé:
In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island’s flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson’s work, most famously in her bestselling novel ''The Summer Book'' and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, ''Moomin''. Tove’s signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti’s subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island’s ecology and character. ''Notes from an Island'' is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson’s journal, with Tooti’s sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.

Pour ériger ces « Villes indivisibles » - et rendre hommage à leur confrère Italo Calvino et à ses « Villes invisibles » - les membres de l'Oulipo (OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle) se sont penchés, sous forme fictionnelle, sur la ville dans ses grandes lignes et ses petits détails. « Les villes indivisibles » reprennent la structure des « Villes invisibles » d'italo Calvino (55 vignettes urbaines divisées en 11 familles), tout en mettant à jour ses catégories thématiques, afin d'interroger ce qui constitue la ville contemporaine et future : les ressources, l'aménagement, le travail, la maladie, la diversité, la coexistence délicate du monde naturel avec son homologue virtuel. Les membres de l'Oulipo ont dressé un tableau de 55 sujets actuels de recherche et de débat, en collaboration avec une équipe d'urbanistes et de climatologues sous l'égide du GIEC. Pour chacun, ils ont conçu et développé le portrait d'une ville dont ce sujet sert de moteur narratif.

Résumé:
James Baldwin was a uniquely prophetic voice in American letters. His brilliant and provocative essays made him the literary voice of the Civil Rights Era, and they continue to speak with powerful urgency to us today, whether in the swirling debate over the Black Lives Matter movement or in the words of Raoul Peck's documentary "I Am Not Your Negro." Edited by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, the Library of America's Collected Essays is the most comprehensive gathering of Baldwin's nonfiction ever published. With burning passion and jabbing, epigrammatic wit, Baldwin fearlessly articulated issues of race and democracy and American identity in such famous essays as "The Harlem Ghetto," "Everybody's Protest Novel," "Many Thousands Gone," and "Stranger in the Village." Here are the complete texts of his early landmark collections, Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961), which established him as an essential intellectual voice of his time, fusing in unique fashion the personal, the literary, and the political.
