Title : Lunar Park - Bret Easton Ellis - Book Summary : Five years after the dazzling Glamorama, Bret Easton Ellis changes register and takes the stage to become the central character of Lunar Park. We remember the decadent characters Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Victor Ward (Glamorama), the artificial paradises, the glory and the violence that were at the heart of their experiences. As if to dismiss a sulphurous reputation, mixing his own memories, his demons and the characters who populate his previous texts, Ellis decides with Lunar Park to play himself as a married man, father of a family, living on a huge estate in Midland County. Ultimately, a bourgeois life divided between the shopping center on Saturday afternoons, sessions with a couples therapist, and dinners with neighbors. A comic twist that turns into a nightmare. The narrator, Bret Easton Ellis, thinks that Proust's madeleines are tangerines, that his house on Elsinore Lane is haunted, that the specter is his dead father and perhaps also the murderous hero of American Psycho, that he must rediscover the simplicity of the sentences of his first novel... A hallucinatory and jubilant dream that mixes autobiography and astonishing visions: Bret Easton Ellis plays with humor and virtuosity on the myth of the writer to write a powerful and masterfully controlled novel. Lunar Park appears almost simultaneously in the United States, England and France. The author will be present in France at the time of the book's release. EAN: 9782221104118 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : My Heroines - Douglas Kennedy - Book Summary : Portraits of women in search of freedom in an America dominated by the cult of success The pursuit of happiness - A Dangerous Relationship - The Discreet Charms of Married Life Their names are Sara, Sally, Hannah. These energetic and strong-willed women are simply looking for happiness, but fate decides otherwise. And they will fight, struggle to escape the headwinds that carry them away: against the social and ideological burdens of McCarthyism for one, to free themselves from an unsatisfying life and a husband who turns out to be perverse for another, to escape a past that resurfaces for the third. With his immense talent as a storyteller, Douglas Kennedy manages to penetrate the hearts of women through the portraits of these heroines in search of freedom in a moralizing and stifling America dominated by the cult of success. "That's what a novel is: love at first sight, dilemmas, regrets – and the near certainty that happiness is always conjugated in the conditional or imperfect tense. [...] Kennedy does what he wants with his reader. How good it is, sometimes, to let yourself be led by the nose."
