Title : A Big Fish - Martha Grimes - book
Summary :
Because they are reliable and make their living by killing, Candy and Carl are hired to eliminate L. Bass Hess, a detestable literary agent on Broadway. Because they always make it a point of honor to know their target before acting, the two men begin by finding out, in their own way. They then discover that the literary agent is true to his reputation: Hess is suing Cindy Sella, one of his former authors, in order to extract a commission from her for a book he never dealt with. This immediately convinces the two accomplices – already convinced that "it's better to cross Afghanistan on a skateboard than to work in publishing" – to save the honor (and career) of the young novelist by dealing with the annoying person in their own way. "Martha Grimes has written a fabulously offbeat novel where the crooks discuss philosophy and literature." Le Tarn Libre

Title : Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse - book
Summary : Spiritual experience, initiatory tale, psychopathic delirium, Steppenwolf spans many registers. Praised upon its publication in 1927 (among others by Thomas Mann, who declared: "This book taught me to read again"), banned under the Nazi regime, a cult novel of the 1960s and 1970s, it is one of the flagship works of 20th-century universal literature. It deserved a new translation. Here it is finally rendered with all the brilliance of its flashes of brilliance, the disturbing obscurity of its shadowy areas. New translation from German by Alexandra Cade.

Title : Michelangelo and the Banquet of the Damned - Didier Convard - book
Summary : Milan, 1508. Vittore, the provost, who is about to celebrate his 57th birthday, has decided to get married. The day he makes this wise and belated decision, a head is found in the baptistery of Saint Ambrose. It rests on a silver platter, on which are crudely engraved these three words: Venit Sol Iustitiae – The sun of justice has shone. Nothing about this murder is ordinary. Neither the attitude of the Bishop of Milan, who seems to fear the worst of cataclysms, nor the sudden arrival of the famous Michelangelo, who has come from Rome where he was painting a fresco in the Sixtus Chapel. Charged with investigating this affair, Vittore, renowned for his brilliant intelligence, is hard pressed to unravel the threads. Especially since he is not insensitive to the charms of the victim's ravishing widow.
Didier Convard once again succeeds in surprising and exciting with this striking evocation of the Italian Renaissance. Eric Adam, dBD.
