Claire Lombardo, "Tout le bonheur du monde"
2021 | ISBN: 2743650338 | Français | EPUB | 650 pages | 0.6 MB

Ce roman marque l’arrivée d’une plume talentueuse dans le paysage littéraire américain. Claire Lombardo, 30 ans à peine, s’inscrit dans la lignée des conteuses que nous aimons tant : Jane Smiley, Anne Tyler ou encore Ann Patchett… Elle signe un portrait de famille aussi drôle que percutant, qui possède un redoutable pouvoir d’addiction. Lombardo réinvente la tradition de la saga dans une version qui flirte avec le soap opera ou la série This is us, sans jamais renoncer à une vraie ambition littéraire. Sa langue est vive, parfois féroce, inventive et rythmée. …

In 1975, the Broadway musical Chicago brought together a host of memes and myths - the gleefully subversive character of American musical comedy, the reckless glamour of the big-city newspaper, the mad decade of the 1920s, the work of Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon (two of the greatest talents in the musical's history), and the Wild West gangsterville that was the city of Chicago itself. The tale of a young woman who murders her departing lover and then tricks the jury into letting her off, Chicago seemed too blunt and cynical at first.

Q. Is it "happy medium" or "happy median"? My author writes: "We would all be much better served as stewards of finite public funds if we could find that happy median where trust reigns supreme." Thanks!
