Participant de l'effervescence d'une communauté d'artistes à Chicago, ville en pleine métamorphose dans la décennie 1980-1990, Frank et Sophie, nostalgiques d'un paradis perdu et attisés par leurs pulsions, partent se confronter à une autre réalité : celle du sous-continent indien.Tout en traversant ces zones vibratoires et frénétiques, ils connaissent les affres d'une relation amoureuse amorçant son déclin et interrogent les figures incantatoires de femmes de légende (Vierge Marie...

Le chemin qu’emprunte cette histoire ressemble à celui du mouvement des nuages, ou à celui d’une boule de flipper qui, une fois catapultée, parcourt un chemin indéfini : un homme erre dans les rues, prisonnier de rêves violents, durs et absolus, dérouté ici par une ombre, un souvenir, là par un étrange assemblage de façades. Et il finit par échouer dans un endroit inconnu où il ne songeait pas à se rendre.« J’ai vu toutes mes relations d’autrefois devenir des hommes d’affaires, des...

Suite au rêve utopique de la génération qui les a précédés - celle de la Beat Generation - et à la contamination de la vague « contre-culturelle », Frank et Tanya (marquée à jamais par le fantôme d'une mère légendaire) prennent la route. Entre sentiment de révolte et malaise croissant, absorbés par la présence toujours plus écrasante des médias et confrontés à des identités factices se croyant fortifiées par la perte de leurs illusions, ils explorent jusqu'au point de rupture ce qui fut le...

C’est simplement normal, un signe des temps. Les gens perdent toute notion de leur identité. Personne ne semble savoir qui est qui. Les gens deviennent de simples ombres, des mouvements, des jumeaux de lumière et d’obscurité dans une vague danse de valeurs d’échange et de conflits d’intérêts. Même la notion d’intégrité personnelle est minée par cette diminution.Résidant à New York, Carl Watson est l’auteur des romans Hôtel des actes irrévocables et Une Vie psychosomati...

The Sherlockian Canon, as prolific as it is, contains few accounts in which Mr. Holmes as his medical colleagues Drs. Watson and Verner, solve cases involving frightening medical conditions. It strikes me that many more such cases were successfully solved by Mr. Holmes and his associates. It is unlikely that Drs Watson and Verner would allow such mysteries remain unsolved. However, the likelihood of public fear nod panic has resulted in the stories being kept secret. Thanks to the current ...

This book challenges the concept of wellbeing as applied to children, particularly in a school-based context. Taking a post-structural approach, it suggests that wellbeing should be understood, and experiences revealed, at the level of the subjective child. This runs counter to contemporary accounts that reduce children's wellbeing to objective lists of things that are needed in order to live well. This book will be useful for academics and practitioners working directly with children, and...
