Titre : African Psycho Auteurs : Alain Mabanckou, Auteur ; Christine Schwartz-Hartley, Traducteur Editeur : London [Royaume-Uni] : Serpent's Tail, 2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre) Résumé : Its title recalls Bret Easton Ellis’s infamous book, but while Ellis’s narrator was a blank slate, African Psycho’s protagonist is a quivering mass of lies, neuroses, and relentless internal chatter. Gregoire Nakobomayo, a petty criminal, has decided to kill his girlfriend Germaine. He’s planned the crime for some time, but still, the act of murder requires a bit of psychological and logistical preparation. Luckily, he has a mentor to call on, the far more accomplished serial killer Angoualima. The fact that Angoualima is dead doesn’t prevent Gregoire from holding lengthy conversations with him. Little by little, Gregoire interweaves Angoualima’s life and criminal exploits with his own. Continuing with the plan despite a string of botched attempts, Gregoire’s final shot at offing Germaine leads to an abrupt unraveling. Lauded in France for its fresh and witty style, African Psycho’s inventive use of language surprises and relieves the reader by injecting humor into this disturbing subject.

"Arrête avec tes mensonges" Besson, Philippe
Titre : Beau (is Non-Binary of Everything) Auteurs : ลาดิด Ladys, Auteur Editeur : Bangkok [Thaïlande] : That Frog Books, 2021 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Thaï (tha) Résumé : "The angel has black wings, likes an orange cat, and purple Tutti Fruttis." A young artist was befriended by an angel before she could draw. The angel that wandered through the eternity and unable to fully comprehend humans in all their complexities yet sense all their emotions-after all, "Joy echoes a ringing bell. Sorrow is the whisking winds in the smell of mud. Pain has a piercing scream. Expectation whistles like the wind on the mountain top..." The story of loss, loneliness, and self-discovery. Beau (is Non-Binary of Everything) has first emerged as a sensation among the online independent book readers community, especially the young Thai LGBTQ community. The story captures the tormenting loneliness of young adults and the existential void. The story follows Kwon Cho, a young artist, trying to make art that lives eternally beyond her ephemeral life. She is befriended by Beau, an angel, a non-binary being that learns the complexity and absurdity of human life for the first time through Kwon Cho. Through Beau, we step closer to understanding life, self-love, friendship, and art. And without a gender lens, it all just is...beautiful as it is.

As Carmen continues to exert her spell, José is dragged further and further into a seedy world of smugglers, robbers, fiery passions and uncontrollable jealousy – one that he will find difficult to escape alive.

Titre : If We Were Villains Auteurs : M. L. Rio, Auteur Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : “Much like Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, M. L. Rio’s sparkling debut is a richly layered story of love, friendship, and obsession...will keep you riveted through its final, electrifying moments.”
―Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest
"Nerdily (and winningly) in love with Shakespeare…Readable, smart.”
―New York Times Book Review
On the day Oliver Marks is released from jail, the man who put him there is waiting at the door. Detective Colborne wants to know the truth, and after ten years, Oliver is finally ready to tell it.
A decade ago: Oliver is one of seven young Shakespearean actors at Dellecher Classical Conservatory, a place of keen ambition and fierce competition. In this secluded world of firelight and leather-bound books, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingénue, extras.
But in their fourth and final year, good-natured rivalries turn ugly, and on opening night real violence invades the students’ world of make-believe. In the morning, the fourth-years find themselves facing their very own tragedy, and their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, each other, and themselves that they are innocent.
If We Were Villains was named one of Bustle's Best Thriller Novels of the Year, and Mystery Scene says, "A well-written and gripping ode to the stage...A fascinating, unorthodox take on rivalry, friendship, and truth."Mots-clés : thriller dark academia Index. décimale : 899 Littérature étrangère Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=29779 If We Were Villains [texte imprimé] / M.

Titre : Ru Auteurs : Kim Thúy, Auteur Editeur : London [Royaume-Uni] : The Clerkenwell Press, 2012 Note générale : A runaway bestseller in Quebec, with foreign rights sold to 15 countries around the world, Kim Thúy's Governor General's Literary Award-winning Ru is a lullaby for Vietnam and a love letter to a new homeland. Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre) Résumé : Ru. In Vietnamese it means lullaby; in French it is a small stream, but also signifies a flow - of tears, blood, money. Kim Thúy's Ru is literature at its most crystalline: the flow of a life on the tides of unrest and on to more peaceful waters. In vignettes of exquisite clarity, sharp observation and sly wit, we are carried along on an unforgettable journey from a palatial residence in Saigon to a crowded and muddy Malaysian refugee camp, and onward to a new life in Quebec. There, the young girl feels the embrace of a new community, and revels in the chance to be part of the American Dream. As an adult, the waters become rough again: now a mother of two sons, she must learn to shape her love around the younger boy's autism. Moving seamlessly from past to present, from history to memory and back again, Ru is a book that celebrates life in all its wonder: its moments of beauty and sensuality, brutality and sorrow, comfort and comedy.

Titre : The Outsider Auteurs : Albert Camus, Auteur ; Sandra Smith, Traducteur Editeur : Penguin Random House Collection : Modern Classics Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre) Résumé : 'My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.'
In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal.
Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world.
Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Etranger.
Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton.
Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.Mots-clés : Existentialisme Index. décimale : 843 Roman francophone Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=29358 The Outsider [texte imprimé] / Albert Camus, Auteur ; Sandra Smith, Traducteur . - [S.l.] : Penguin Random House, [s.d.]. - (Modern Classics) .

Traduction de La Carte postale / Anne Berest
Titre : The Postcard Auteurs : Anne Berest, Auteur ; Tina Kover, Traducteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Europa Editions, 2024 Importance : 475 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Français (fre) Résumé : Winner of the Choix Goncourt Prize, Anne Berest’s The Postcard is a vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, an enthralling investigation into family secrets, and poignant tale of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling.
January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest’s maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques—all killed at Auschwitz.
Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne’s family, her country, and herself.Mots-clés : World War II Jews family trauma mother daughter relationship Paris concentration camps Index. décimale : 843 Roman francophone Genre : Roman/Roman historique Permalink : http://medialibrary.afthailande.org/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=30537

Highly literary, his narratives offer an oblique reflection of contemporary Bangkok life, exploring the bewildering disjunct and oft-hilarious contradictions of a modernity that is at odds with many traditional Thai ideas on relationships, family, school and work.Credited with having 'brought fresh energy to Thai literature with his distinctive urban voice', Yoon's is the voice of a new generation, responding to his country's recent and rapid urbanisation with fresh, off-beat perspectives and exciting formal innovation. The collection from which the majority of the stories in The Sad Part Was are taken made the young author a household name when it was published in 2002 and won the S.E.A. Writers Award. Two of its stories have been excerpted in Two Lines Journal, and Yoon already has a fan in prominent critic Scott Esposito. One story is currently being made into a feature film.
