Manuel de dressage par le colonel Hap Thompson. Suivi de Truite de fond
Résumé : L'audacieux et inclassable Percival Everett mélange les genres et les tonalités, proposant une écriture poétique d'une liberté totale. Son Manuel de dressage, guide pour le propriétaire d'esclaves américain, prend la forme d'un document historique parodique. Poussant à se mettre dans la peau de ceux qui ont monnayé et réduit en esclavage d'autres êtres humains, le texte donne le vertige. Dans le recueil Truite de fond, la poésie se fait virtuose et élégante, bousculant notre perception de la réalité.Sur commande, 2 à 4 joursCOMMANDER7,70 € -
James
Percival Everett reprend les personnages et l’aventure épique du chef d’œuvre de Mark Twain « Les aventures d’Huckleberry Finn », mais retourne les rôles et fait de Jim (qui choisira de s’appeler James), l’esclave, le personnage principal. Une œuvre romanesque remplie d’humanité qui nous plonge au cœur de l’Amérique du XIXème siècle et de la guerre de Sécession, et qui dresse le portrait émouvant d’un homme qui sait la puissance des mots.EN STOCKCOMMANDER23,50 € -
Châtiment

Le duo d'enquêteurs noirs dépêché sur les lieux pour prêter main-forte au shérif local est désopilant à souhait et promet des pages inoubliables dans la confrontation avec les rednecks du cru.EN STOCKCOMMANDER9,40 € -
