Comme dans un jeu de piste, il y a des énigmes à résoudre, des questionnaires de culture générale, des exercices pédestres légèrement tordus (par exemple : comment aller de Faidherbe-Chaligny au cours de Vincennes en empruntant six rues dont les noms commencent tous par la même lettre), qui nous plongent dans un Paris labyrinthe. Chaque arrondissement se décline de surcroît dans une grille de mots croisés (très coton)

Résumé:
The last book that John Berger wrote was this precious little volume about time titled What Time Is It?, now posthumously published for the first time in English by Notting Hill Editions. Berger died before it was completed, but the text has been assembled and illustrated by his longtime collaborator and friend Selçuk Demirel, and has an introduction by Maria Nadotti. What Time Is It? is a profound and playful meditation on the illusory nature of time. Berger, the great art critic and Man Booker Prize–winning author, reflects on what time has come to mean to us in modern life. Our perception of time assumes a uniform and ceaseless passing of time, yet time is turbulent. It expands and contracts according to the intensity of the lived moment. We talk of time “saved” in a hundred household appliances; time, like money, is exchanged for the content it lacks. Berger posits the idea that time can lengthen lifetimes once we seize the present moment. “What-is-to-come, what-is-to-be-gained empties what-is.”

Un souper entre anciens amis du secondaire s'est étiré, et, peu à peu, les échangent dérapent. La réalité individuelle de ces jeunes trentenaires prend le pas sur les souvenirs chéris, et, soudain, les visions du monde se confrontent. Les partis pris sont dévoilés au grand jour, les visions de l'avenir, de la maternité et de l'amitié sont brouillées à jamais. Maniant l'hyperréalisme avec une extrême précision, l'auteure dresse un portrait incisif du Québec d'aujourd'hui, de ses penchants politiques et de notre besoin urgent de trouver de véritables issues de secours.

Résumé:
This illustrated work reflects on the cultural implications of smoking, and suggests, through a series of brilliantly inventive illustrations, that society's attitude to smoke is both paradoxical and intolerant. It portrays a world in which smokers, banished from public places, must encounter one another as outlaws. Meanwhile, car exhausts and factory chimneys continue to pollute the atmosphere. Smoke is a beautifully illustrated prose poem that lingers in the mind. "A cigarette is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis. The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis, and if it is shared you are both in that parenthesis. It's like a proscenium arch for a dialogue." - John Berger (in interview)
