Depuis quatre mois, cette phrase accompagne des cercles bleus tracés à la craie, durant la nuit, sur les trottoirs de Paris. Au centre de ces cercles, comme prisonniers, des objets perdus : trombone, bougie, patte de pigeon... Le phénomène fait les délices des journalistes et de quelques psychiatres qui théorisent : un maniaque ? un joueur ? Le commissaire Adamsberg, lui, ne rit pas. Ces cercles et leur contenu hétéroclite suintent la cruauté. Il le sait, il le sent : bientôt, l'anodin saugrenu deviendra tragédie.Buy the book on Amazon, on Lireka, or on Thriftbooks]]></product_content>

Lire dans un roman le récit d'un avortement me plonge dans un saisissement sans images ni pensées, comme si les mots se changeaient instantanément en sensation violente. De la même façon entendre par hasard La javanaise, J'ai la mémoire qui flanche, n'importe quelle chanson qui m'a accompagnée durant cette période, me bouleverse."

Some passages are explicit and may be difficult for some readers. Supportive and respectful conversation will be maintained throughout our book club.

Il faudra à son ami Milan des années pour le découvrir. Des années pour percer les silences du Rwanda, dévasté après le génocide des Tutsi. En rendant leur parole aux disparus, les jeunes gens échapperont à la solitude. Et trouveront la paix près des rivages magnifiques du lac Kivu. Sur quatre générations, avec sa douceur unique, Gaël Faye nous raconte l’histoire terrible d’un pays qui s’essaie malgré tout au dialogue et au pardon. Comme un arbre se dresse entre ténèbres et lumière, Jacaranda célèbre l’humanité, paradoxale, aimante, vivante. Buy the book on Amazon, on Lireka, or on Thriftbooks]]></product_content>

Elle va découvrir à ses dépens l’implacable rigueur de l’autorité d’entreprise, en même temps que les codes de conduite, incompréhensibles au profane, qui gouvernent la vie sociale au pays du Soleil levant.D’erreurs en maladresses et en échecs, commence alors pour elle, comme dans un mauvais rêve, la descente inexorable dans les degrés de la hiérarchie, jusqu’au rang de surveillante des toilettes, celui de l’humiliation dernière. Une course absurde vers l’abîme – image de la vie –, où l’humour percutant d’Amélie Nothomb fait mouche à chaque ligne.Entre le rire et l’angoisse, cette satire des nouveaux despotismes aux échos kafkaïens a conquis un immense public et valu à l’auteur d’Hygiène de l’assassin le Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française en 1999.
