Muriel Barbery

Une Gourmandise


August 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00981-3
160 pages

The novel concerns the greatest critic of the culinary world, the "Pope of Gastronomy." Early in the story, one is told that he will die tomorrow. It is his history, and that of his family, acquaintances, even his pets. Ms. Barbery tells the story in 29 separate vignettes, alternating between the culinary critic (whose name we finally learn towards the end) and all the other characters. A literary technique that works well, despite the multitude of view points, which she sharply reduced in "The Elegance of the Hedgehog." Her style is rich and dense, like a wonderful chocolate éclair. Writing to be savored. The novel "works" on several different dimensions. There are the human relation aspects, a man who is at the epitome of his field, estranged from most of his family - his most caring relationship is with the servant who is now head of the household, and his pets. His wife, Anna, is resigned to his philandering. In the vignettes told by his daughter, Laura, and his granddaughter, Lotte, one gain's insight into his dysfunctional character. There is a wonderful chapter on how he first entered the ranks of a food critic, impressing a to-be mentor with the right answer, thus, "the king is dead, long live the king." One of the central characters in "The Elegance...", Renee, the concierge, plays a cameo role in this novel, a tantalizing foreshadowing... And the novel is very much about the French concern on what is placed into the stomach, and the pleasure derived in the process. There are some wonderful meals described: in Morocco, along the beach; a chance invitation to a home meal in Normandy; the importance of bread; the sorbets of his grandmother whose correct description launched his career; the pleasure of fish; and would any book on gastronomy be complete without venturing into Japanese cuisine, with the art of serving raw food? The "surprise" at the end involves a turn towards the crasser aspects of commercial food.... Alas. Alas, also, my French is not good enough to understand why Ms. Barbery entitled her book "Une Gourmandise" as opposed to "Un Gourmand." Clearly an English translation of the book should be provided. She is a superlative writer, with deep insights into the human condition. Perhaps others will address why the title is in the feminine Ms. Barbery still has much to tell us, and I eagerly await.

Fred Vargas

Pars vite et reviens tard


July 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00982-0
480 pages

Pour avoir rossé un armateur responsable de la mort de deux marins, Joss Le Guern, capitaine du chalutier Le Vent de Norois, a connu la prison, puis le chômage avant d'échouer à Paris et de devenir "crieur", place Edgar Quinet. Trois fois par jour, Joss relève les messages, accompagnés de pièces ou de billets, que ses clients ont déposés dans sa boîte et, trois fois par jour, perché sur une estrade, il crie les nouvelles devant les habitués du quartier. Un jour, Joss découvre dans sa boîte une étrange missive qui se révèle inquiétante. C'est tout au moins ce que pense Hervé Decambrais, un septuagénaire qui allie à la broderie de napperons une érudition peu commune. Et comme ces messages bizarres continuent d'arriver trois fois par jour, il va déployer tous ses efforts pour en détecter le sens caché. Le commissaire principal Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, qui vient d'être affecté à l'antenne du XIIIe arrondissement de la brigade criminelle, reçoit Maryse. La jeune femme est affolée d'avoir découvert peint en noir sur presque toutes les portes de son immeuble un grand 4 inversé accompagné des lettres CLT. Le policier se décide à prendre l'affaire au sérieux lorsque des tags similaires sont découverts dans un autre arrondissement et qu'un cadavre est retrouvé, la peau enduite de charbon. Bientôt les deux affaires vont se recouper. Avec ses accroches insolites, Fred Vargas crée d'emblée un mystère. Elle entraîne le lecteur dans une plongée au cœur de l'histoire en compagnie de personnages déjà croisés dans de précédent romans, comme Adamsberg et son amie Camille (L'Homme à l'envers), ou encore Marc, l'un des évangélistes (Debout les morts). On y croise aussi d'autres individus singuliers comme Joss le crieur, Hervé, l'as du napperon brodé ou l'ancienne prostituée Lizbeth. Instructif et divertissant, ce nouvel opus qu'on déguste avec délice, est évidemment copieusement garni de digressions et des célèbres aphorismes qui font le charme des polars de Fred Vargas.

Jhumpa Lahiri

The namesake


July 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00808-3
352 pages

Any talk of The Namesake--Jhumpa Lahiri's follow-up to her Pulitzer Prize-winning debut, Interpreter of Maladies--must begin with a name: Gogol Ganguli. Born to an Indian academic and his wife, Gogol is afflicted from birth with a name that is neither Indian nor American nor even really a first name at all. He is given the name by his father who, before he came to America to study at MIT, was almost killed in a train wreck in India. Rescuers caught sight of the volume of Nikolai Gogol's short stories that he held, and hauled him from the train. Ashoke gives his American-born son the name as a kind of placeholder, and the awkward thing sticks. Awkwardness is Gogol's birthright. He grows up a bright American boy, goes to Yale, has pretty girlfriends, becomes a successful architect, but like many second-generation immigrants, he can never quite find his place in the world. There's a lovely section where he dates a wealthy, cultured young Manhattan woman who lives with her charming parents. They fold Gogol into their easy, elegant life, but even here he can find no peace and he breaks off the relationship. His mother finally sets him up on a blind date with the daughter of a Bengali friend, and Gogol thinks he has found his match. Moushumi, like Gogol, is at odds with the Indian-American world she inhabits. She has found, however, a circuitous escape: "At Brown, her rebellion had been academic ... she'd pursued a double major in French. Immersing herself in a third language, a third culture, had been her refuge--she approached French, unlike things American or Indian, without guilt, or misgiving, or expectation of any kind." Lahiri documents these quiet rebellions and random longings with great sensitivity. There's no cleverness or showing-off in The Namesake, just beautifully confident storytelling. Gogol's story is neither comedy nor tragedy; it's simply that ordinary, hard-to-get-down-on-paper commodity: real life. --Claire Dederer --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Robert Wilson

The company of strangers


June 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00955-4
752 pages

This tense thriller from the author of A Small Death in Lisbon (2000) mixes mathematics with wartime intrigue to fine effect. British intelligence hires Andrea Aspinall, a mathematical wunderkind, to make use of her extraordinary gift in hunting atomic secrets. But Andrea disappears in Lisbon, where she adopts a new identity and meets Karl Voss, an attach‚ at the German legation, who's plotting against the Nazis. The action shifts to Portugal and cold-war Berlin, where intrigue and counter-intrigue are routine, until a bleak ending brings the reader up short. The narrative spans the years from WWII to glasnost and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, yet for all the inevitable social commentary the novel remains at heart a conventional sociopolitical thriller with strong echoes of le Carr‚, Ambler, Deighton and others not to mention Gravity's Rainbow. As the story lengthens and the calendar pages fall away, suspense inevitably slackens, though for the most part the novel remains supremely readable. Wilson's spare prose style never becomes skeletal, and the characters, while lightly sketched, remain believable. The author portrays Andrea in particular with sympathy and insight, and adumbrates her remarkable ability early on when she describes what might be called the joys of mathematics: "The number six... has three divisors one, two and three which if added together come to... six. Isn't that perfect?" The verdict: an evocative and compelling thriller. 5-city author tour; 75,000 first printing.

ISBN 978-5-389-00775-8
448 pages

In Anderson's third mystery (after 2005's Killer Cocktail) to feature Molly Forrester, advice columnist for Zeitgeist magazine, the fashionable New York City journalist still yearns to be an investigative crime reporter. She gets her chance when her editor asks her to interview Gwen Lincoln, the wealthy ex-wife of "advertising rock star" Garth Henderson and the prime suspect in Henderson's high-profile murder, which the police think may be connected to the victim's agency's recent merger with a rival firm. Molly's two best friends—attorney Cassady Lynch and events planner Tricia Vincent—hope to see Molly's byline in the New York Times, but Molly's sexy homicide detective boyfriend, Kyle Edwards, wants her to keep out of danger and off his turf. As Molly investigates the many possible suspects, she jeopardizes her romance, her friends' safety and her own life. But this "Sleuth in the City" stays on her toes as Anderson keeps the story lighthearted and fast-paced.

Frederic Beigbeder

Windows on the world


June 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00927-1
432 pages

"You know how it ends: everybody dies." Thus begins Beigbeder's gripping apocalyptic novel, which takes place on September 11, 2001 - the date on which New York realtor Carthew Yorston has taken his seven- and nine-year-old sons for a long-promised breakfast at the eponymous eatery atop the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Alternating with Smith's narration is the voice of Beigbeder himself - or a thinly disguised version of the French author - musing about the tragedy one year later over his own breakfast in Le Ciel de Paris, on the 56th floor of the Tour Montparnasse, the tallest building in Paris. Each chapter of the novel represents one minute on that fateful morning, from 8:30 to 10:29; nearly all are less than three pages, and several prove startling in their brevity ("In the Windows, the few remaining survivors intone Irving Berlin's 'God Bless America' (1939)"). Both men riff on everything from trivia to politics and make often poignant philosophical observations. Abundant doses of gallows humor at once add levity and underscore the drama. Yorston's overheard snatches of fatuous cell-phone conversations, for example, would be funny in another context, while the enforced exit of a cigar-smoking guest at Windows on the World "thereby proves that a cigar can save your life." Though some readers may be put off by this novel's subject matter, Beigbeder invests his narrators with such profound humanity that the book is far more than a litany of catastrophe: it is, on all levels, a stunning read.

La Muerte lenta de Luciana B.


June 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00809-0
256 pages

¿Podría un asesino simular cuidadosamente el azar, concebir una geometría encarnizada de muertes y quedar impune? ¿Cuál es la proporción justa del castigo para el que nos ha despojado de todo y nos ha causado el máximo dolor? Diez años después, nada queda en Luciana de la muchacha alegre y seductora a la que el famoso escritor Kloster dictaba sus novelas. Tras las trágicas muertes primero de su novio y después, uno a uno, de sus seres más queridos, Luciana vive aterrorizada, vigilando cada sombra, cada persona que se cruza a su lado, con la sospecha de que esas muertes no pueden ser casuales, sino parte de una venganza metódica urdida contra ella, un círculo a su alrededor que sólo se cerrará con el número siete. En la desesperación más absoluta, recurre a la única persona capaz de adentrarse en el siniestro universo de Kloster. Los cuadernos de notas de Henry James y una Biblia de Scofield serán claves ambiguas en un pasaje sin retorno a la región más primitiva del mal. Guillermo Martínez ha escrito una obra de una intensidad extraordinaria que lo confirma como un autor de referencia de la literatura contemporánea. Una novela deslumbrante que cautiva con una escritura limpia y precisa, y mantiene al lector en vilo hasta la última página.

The Burglar in the rye


June 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00932-5
432 pages

Lawrence Block is such a gifted writer that even a native New Yorker will be fooled into thinking that the Paddington Hotel, described in the opening pages of Burglar in the Rye, is a real institution. Block's descriptions of this enclave of artists, writers, and rock musicians is thoroughly convincing--although in actuality, the Paddington is a combination of the real-life Chelsea Hotel and Block's outrageous imagination. This is Bernie Rhodenbarr's ninth heist. Bernie is a gentleman burglar who runs a used bookstore in between criminal acts, steals mostly from the rich, and only hurts people when it becomes absolutely necessary. The Paddington is where Bernie goes to liberate the letters of a reclusive writer named Gulliver Fairborn from a literary agent. Fairborn's resemblance to J.D. Salinger and, of course, the fact that the woman who hired Bernie to steal the letters had an affair with Fairborn when she was a teenager, no doubt lend the book its title. But by the time Bernie gets to the Paddington, the agent has been shot, the letters already liberated--and a cop in the lobby recognizes our favorite burglar from a previous encounter. Now all Bernie has to do is find out who else wanted those letters badly enough to kill for them. In typical Rhodenbarr tradition, the plot is less interesting than the trappings: the books Bernie reads, the fascinating objects he picks up along the way. The reader also learns about some mind-expanding facts, such as the existence of a tiny South American fish that swims up a man's urine stream and lodges in his private parts! Or did Block make that up, too?

L’egoiste romantique


May 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00925-7
464 pages

Cette histoire débute en l'an 2000. Oscar Dufresne a 34 ans. C'est un écrivain fictif, comme il y a des malades imaginaires. Il tient son journal dans la presse pour que sa vie devienne passionnante. Il est égoïste, lâche, cynique et obsédé sexuel- bref c'est un homme comme les autres ». Ainsi l'auteur définit-il son livre, roman-journal et chronique des People : "Il faudrait inventer pour le délire dufresnien, en hommage à Malraux, la dénomination d'antijournal. C'est un miroir déformant que je promène le long de mon nombril." Mais Oscar Dufresne, le double célibataire de Frédéric Beigbeder, n'est pas seulement un Narcisse qui consigne ses observations. Dans ce roman éclaté en digressions drôlatiques et aphorismes brillants ("être célèbre, c'est être limité" ; "Quand on méprise quelqu'un qu'on a aimé, c'est soi-même qu'on injurie" ; "On croit que Casanova est un stakhanoviste alors qu'il est paresseux. On a beau changer de femme, on reste toujours le même homme, partisan du moindre effort"), Oscar épingle la société du spectacle (à commencer par lui-même), courtise les femmes à la hussarde mais tombe amoureux, console les célibataires qui lui ressemblent, croise et assassine les célébrités, voyage dans les boîtes de nuit du monde entier, d'Istanbul à Hambourg. Parce que le titre doit sa légitimité à Fitzgerald et le rire angoissé du roman beaucoup à Bridget Jones, dont Oscar est le pendant masculin, on peut espérer que L'Egoïste romantique puisse être en librairie à la fois un GRAND succès et une oeuvre littéraire originale, follement drôle.

Vacances dans le coma


May 2010
ISBN 978-5-389-00827-4
256 pages

One night in a Parisian nightclub and the aftermath of a marriage provide the stories for these two novels by Frederic Beigbeder, award-winning author of 'Windows on the World'. Both novels, translated into English for the first time here, are narrated by Marc Marronier, a shallow, superficial, rich Parisian who works as an advertising executive, but concentrates much of his energy on frequenting the demimonde of Parisian clubs and bars. It's a world Beigbeder is all too familiar with, and his caustic observations are all the more accurate for it. In 'Holiday in a Coma', Marc Marronier is invited by his old friend, an American DJ, to the opening of a new nightclub called The Shitter (a satirical take on the famous Paris nightclub, Les Bains Douche). Taking place over a single unforgettable night, the novel documents everything from the pit-bull bouncer on the door, to the drugs, cocktails and wannabes who frequent the club. Marc has set his sights on seducing a catwalk model -- any one will do -- and is trying to keep a clear head while all around are paying good money to lose theirs. A catalogue of degeneracy, drugs, sex and decibels, 'Holiday in a Coma' is written with a fury and passion that reflect the author's own relationship with a world and he both loves and loathes. In 'Love Lasts Three Years', our hero Marc has just been divorced and -- shallow opportunist that he is -- has decided to write a book about it. He has a theory that love lasts no more than three years, and here -- while recounting the highs and lows of his marriage and taking us through brash nightclubs, vainglorious offices and soulless designer apartments -- he brings to bear the theoretical and the empirical to prove his point. Both frightening and funny, the book reads like a diary: sometimes tender and real, sometimes fantastical and cruel, peppered with Beigbeder's acerbic one-liners and trademark wit.

Andelman, Editor, World Policy Journal "... a powerful testament to grace of humanity in its most brilliant and glorious manifestation." -Da Chen, Author of the bestselling memoir, Colours of the Mountain, and the novel, Brothers Constantine and Lydia Shapiro, both professional musicians, met in Berlin and fell in love after their families fled from war, revolution, and anti-Semitism in early twentieth-century Russia. In Hitler's Germany, they again faced persecution. Realizing the danger of remaining in Europe, they continued their odyssey, first to Palestine, and ultimately to the relative safety of China and Japan. In Tokyo in 1931, their fourth son, Isaac, was born. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the sudden onset of World War II, the family's life was disrupted once again. They moved from city to city in war-torn Japan, surviving privations and the bombing of Japan by the United States. During the subsequent American occupation of Japan, fourteen-year-old Isaac was hired to be an interpreter by a U.S. Marine Colonel from far-off Arkansas. Colonel (later Lieutenant General) John Calvin "Toby" Munn gave Isaac ("Ike") the opportunity to immigrate to America. Isaac landed in Hawaii in the summer of 1946, completely altering the course of his life.
