Un roman foisonnant où Céline raconte son enfance et sa jeunesse : "C'est sur ce quai-là, au 18, que mes bons parents firent de bien tristes affaires pendant l'hiver 92, ça nous remet loin. C'était un magasin de "Modes, fleurs et plumes". Y avait en tout comme modèles que trois chapeaux, dans une seule vitrine, on me l'a souvent raconté. La Seine a gelé cette année-là. Je suis né en mai. C'est moi le printemps."

Story1
My character has been shaped by two opposing forces; the pressure to conform to social norms, and the pressure to be true to myself. To be honest with you, these forces have really torn me apart. They’ve pulled me one way and then the other. At times, they’ve left me questioning my whole entire existence. But please don’t think that I’m angry or morose. I’m not. Because through adversity comes knowledge. I’ve suffered, it’s true. But I’ve learnt from my pain. I’ve become a better person.

Story1
Bo ha ottantanove anni ed è arrabbiato con il suo corpo che non obbedisce più, con le sue braccia un tempo forti che ora non riescono a fare più nulla. Ma, soprattutto, Bo è arrabbiato con Hans che vuole portargli via Sixten, il suo cane, perché si è convinto che un quasi novantenne non sia in grado di prendersene cura. Delicato e potente, questo ritratto dell'ultima età della vita, protagonista invisibile della ma nostra epoca, è un romanzo sovversivo che ci riguarda tutti.

Barney Panofsky - Canadian expat, wily lover of women, writer, television producer, raconteur - is finally putting pen to paper so he can rebut the charges about him made in his rival’s autobiography. Whether it’s ranting about his bohemian misadventures during the 1950s in Paris, his tumultuous three marriages, or his successful trashy TV company, Totally Unnecessary Productions, he quickly proves that his memory may be slipping, but his bile isn’t.

In the cold spring of 1936, Arthor Crandle, down-on-his luck and desperate for work, accepts a position in Providence, Rhode Island, as a live-in assistant for an unnamed shut-in. He arrives at the gloomy colonial-style house to discover that his strange employer is an author of disturbing, bizarre fiction. Health issues have confined him to his bedroom, where he is never to be disturbed. But the writer, who Crandle knows only as "Ech-Pi", refuses to meet him, communicating only by letters left on a table outside his room.

When a health scare forces Orla, 29, to move in with her secretive father, she decides it's time to swap family drama for sun-soaked Greek beaches. After checking into a charming B&B, she realises the turquoise sea isn't the only eye-catching sight. Her neighbour, brooding writer Georgios, is in dire need of inspiration – and Orla seems to be the muse he's been waiting for. But over candlelit dinners and Greek wine, he persuades Orla to share her past. As soon as she does, however, Georgios abruptly ends their rendezvous.

In 1984, Detective Eric O'Malley investigated the bizarre deaths of a young couple, their bodies found naked by the side of a creek in Sydney's northern suburbs. Shortly before their demise, O'Malley learned, the pair had attended a swingers' party. The case was barely open before it was deemed an accident. But O'Malley knew it was murder. He just couldn't prove it. Thirty-five years later, O'Malley is found dead in his flat in what looks like a drug overdose. But his son James knows something's amiss. His dad was close to solving that case after all these years. And someone else knew it.
