Résumé:
The poems in ''Naturalism, an annotated bibliography'' survey the totemic elements of rural life, a world where wells go dry, rains flood brooks and basements, and maintenance only ever slows the inevitable decline. But there’s resilience as well, in garlic scapes, rosehips, winter birds, old houses and books, and love. Goodfellow’s spare style and sensitivity to the way(...)

Résumé:
The poems in ''Naturalism, an annotated bibliography'' survey the totemic elements of rural life, a world where wells go dry, rains flood brooks and basements, and maintenance only ever slows the inevitable decline. But there’s resilience as well, in garlic scapes, rosehips, winter birds, old houses and books, and love. Goodfellow’s spare style and sensitivity to the way people, objects, and places fuse together through time give these poems the surefootedness of a thing rooted in the earth.

Résumé:
Comment habite-on un livre ? Quel espace a-t-on construit dans sa tête lorsqu'on sort de la lecture d'un roman ? La question du rapport entre architecture et littérature a souvent été posée. Serait-ce donc ici un ouvrage de plus qui s'y rapporte ? Non, car il s'agit ici d'un livre d'aventure, écrite et dessinée. Une sorte d'aventure à la Indiana Jones : dans quelle jungle(...)

Résumé:
Comment habite-on un livre ? Quel espace a-t-on construit dans sa tête lorsqu'on sort de la lecture d'un roman ? La question du rapport entre architecture et littérature a souvent été posée. Serait-ce donc ici un ouvrage de plus qui s'y rapporte ? Non, car il s'agit ici d'un livre d'aventure, écrite et dessinée. Une sorte d'aventure à la Indiana Jones : dans quelle jungle architecturale se retrouve-t-on lorsqu'on traverse au sens propre une bibliothèque. C'est donc une traversée qui comporte des allers, des retours, des dérives et des lieux au-delà de la lecture. Une traversée qui donne un point de vue spatial sur la lecture des livres qui devient ici promenade architecturale d'un nouveau type. L'ouvrage pose également la question de la représentation et de l'outil du dessin comme élément constructeur de l'architecture. Les lectures génèrent des images mentales capables d'influer et d'accompagner les architectes dans la construction d'espaces.

Ever since her triumphant debut in Chaucer’s ''Canterbury Tales'', the Wife of Bath, arguably the first ordinary and recognisably real woman in English literature, has obsessed readers—from Shakespeare to James Joyce, Voltaire to Pasolini, Dryden to Zadie Smith.

Résumé:
Ever since her triumphant debut in Chaucer’s ''Canterbury Tales'', the Wife of Bath, arguably the first ordinary and recognisably real woman in English literature, has obsessed readers—from Shakespeare to James Joyce, Voltaire to Pasolini, Dryden to Zadie Smith. Few literary characters have led such colourful lives or matched her influence or capacity for reinvention in poetry, drama, fiction, and film. In ''The Wife of Bath'', Marion Turner tells the fascinating story of where Chaucer’s favourite character came from, how she related to real medieval women, and where her many travels have taken her since the fourteenth century, from Falstaff and Molly Bloom to #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.

Résumé:
En sortant de l'école d'art, Elise Legal parcourt un monde de crises économiques, d'absurdités politiques et d'angoisses écologiques. Un monde dans lequel elle doit désormais légitimer sa démarche artistique dans des dossiers qui en font une fiction. Problèmes de localisation contient sept textes, composés d'analyses critiques, de récits personnels et de poèmes, qui racontent cette entrée dans un environnement où circulent les corps, les marchandises, les informations et les capitaux. Elise Legal s'y déplace en voiture, en co-voiturage, en train, en bus ou en avion, découvrant ce que ce monde de transaction et de fluidité fait au langage. Elle cherche à comprendre comment il est incarné, échangé et habité dans les voix des pilotes d'avion, des startupers ou du président de la République, dans les textes de loi, les formulaires de demandes de bourses, la parole de ses enseigant·es, dans les textes de théorie critique comme dans la poésie des banquiers.

Résumé:
J.G. Ballard's 1975 novel "High Rise" contains all of the qualities we have come to expect from this author: alarming psychological insights, a study of the profoundly disturbing connections between technology and the human condition, and an intriguing plot masterfully executed. Ballard, who wrote the tremendously troubling "Crash," really knows how to dig deep into our troubling times in order to expose our tentative grasp of modernity. Some compare this book to William Golding's "Lord of the Flies," and there are definite characteristics the two novels share. I would argue, however, that "High Rise" is more eloquent and more relevant than Golding's book. Unfortunately, this Ballard novel is out of print. Try and locate a copy at your local library because the payoff is well worth the effort.

Résumé:
Translated By is published to coincide with an exhibition at the AA, which gathers eleven literary writers and eleven literary places and subjects them to an act of immaterial translation – via the voice. The stories run through Ramallah, recollect turn-of-the-century Sofia, remember the spaceship-looking-Sheraton Hotel in Doha, wander through the 'Metaverse' and end at the end of the world in West Vancouver. Each of the authors invent or interpret place. Mundane, marginal, infamous, impossible. Together, the texts create a strange and beautiful territory that traverses distance and time. Writers include Douglas Coupland, Rana Dasgupta, Hu Fang, Julien Gracq, Jonathan Letham, Tom McCarthy, Guy Mannes Abbott, Sophia Al Maria, Hisham Matar, Adania Shibli, and Neal Stephenson, with essays by Charles Arsène-Henry and Shumon Basar.
