Après Les Routes oubliées et La Colère, Le Sang des innocents vient confirmer son talent pour les intrigues denses et sous pression, les personnages déchirés et un regard remarquablement lucide sur l’Amérique et les dépossédés qu’elle coule dans son sillage. »

A Reese’s Book Club Pick

“White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American. . . With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.”

de Isle McElroy
Harper, septembre 2023
Les droits de langue française sont toujours disponibles.

Vulture Best Books of 2023
NPR’s Books We Love 2023
Elle Favorite (and Most Anticipated) Books of 2023

“A gender-bending, body-switching novel that explores marriage, identity, and sex, and raises profound questions about the nature of true partnership. . . A rich, rewarding exploration of ambition and sacrifice, desire and loss, People Collide is a portrait of shared lives that shines a refreshing light on everything we thought we knew about love, sexuality, and the truth of who we are.”

Washington Post Best Books of 2023
Barack Obama’s Summer Reading List 2023

“Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.―and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself.  .  . In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.”

Fueled by the absurd details and authoritative reporting that earned Zeke Faux the accolade “our great poet of crime” (Money Stuff columnist Matt Levine), Number Go Up is the essential chronicle, by turns harrowing and uproarious, of a $3 trillion financial delusion.”

de Siddharth Kara
St. Martin’s Press, janvier 2023
Les droits de langue française sont toujours disponibles.

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2023
Shortlisted for the Financial Times Best Business Book of the Year Award

“An unflinching investigation reveals the human rights abuses behind the Congo’s cobalt mining operation―and the moral implications that affect us all. . . Roughly 75 percent of the world’s supply of cobalt is mined in the Congo, often by peasants and children in sub-human conditions. Billions of people in the world cannot conduct their daily lives without participating in a human rights and environmental catastrophe in the Congo. In this stark and crucial book, Kara argues that we must all care about what is happening in the Congo―because we are all implicated.”

STRANGE PLANET de Nathan Pyle sur Apple TV+

Le 9 août, la plateforme Apple TV+ a diffusé les trois premiers épisodes de la série animée STRANGE PLANET de Nathan Pyle adaptée de la BD du même nom.

Dans la BD, best-seller numéro 1 de The New York Times et phénomène international sur les réseaux sociaux, nous partons à la découverte de Strange Planet, une planète lointaine aux couleurs bleues, roses et violettes, où des êtres bleus attachants explorent l’absurdité des habitudes humaines. Cette BD pose « un regard doux et hilarant » sur un monde qui ressemble étrangement au nôtre.

STRANGE PLANET est disponible chez Kero et les droits de l’album pour enfants sont toujours disponibles.

DEMON COPPERHEAD de Barbara Kingsolver remporte le Women’s Prize for Fiction et l’Indie Book Award 2023

 

 

 

 

 

 

DEMON COPPERHEAD de Barbara Kingsolver, à paraître en janvier 2024 aux éditions Albin Michel, a été couronné le 15 juin par le Women’s Prize for Fiction, et le 23 juin par l’Indie Book Award dans la catégorie Fiction. Ce roman, relecture moderne du David Copperfield de Charles Dickens, a également remporté le prestigieux Prix Pulitzer 2023 plus tôt cette année.

Barbara Kingslover, qui a également gagné le Women’s Prize for Fiction en 2010 avec The Lacuna (Un Autre monde, éd. Payot & Rivages), est la seule double lauréate de ce prix.

L’Indie Book Award est décerné annuellement par les libraires indépendants de Grande-Bretagne.

Kingslover a déclaré : “I love independent booksellers – I owe them everything, I owe them my career. […] I’m so aware of what I owe to the booksellers, who know books, read books and care. So there’s really no award that I can think of that would be more gratifying for me, thinking back of my own career, than this award. Thank you.”

Situé dans les montagnes du sud des Appalaches, DEMON COPPERHEAD raconte l’histoire d’un garçon né dans une caravane d’une mère célibataire adolescente, sans autre atout que sa beauté, une bonne dose d’esprit et un talent féroce pour la survie.
