The Perfect Sushi
By Emily Satoko Seo. 2023
Miko likes things to be perfect. When she makes lopsided sushi for her grandmother’s birthday, she replaces it with perfectly…
formed sushi created by a restaurant robot. Upon delivering her gift, Miko discovers that kokoro (heart) – not impeccability – is the key ingredient to the perfect present.

qui vont au bord du quai se faire une idée de l'horizon, alors que la contemplation du large nous rend non pas méditatifs mais malheureux profondément, mais objets d'un spleen sans mesure. Notre regard n'est pas fait pour courir hors limites, non. Notre regard est fait pour les immeubles, pour les toits de la ville, pour les parois montagneuses où accrocher ses rêves et ses ambitions. Et nous partons voir le désert, nous partons voir l'océan. -- 4e de couvWhat to Look for in Winter: A Memoir in Blindness

en dialogue avec l'imagination dès le moment vécu, puis dans le souvenir et tout au long de l'existence. Dans ce récit strictement autobiographique, tout l'effort consiste à retrouver et à restituer avec leurs composantes contradictoires les circonstances, l'état d'esprit, les états de corps, les sentiments, les sensations, les pulsions, d'une aventure amoureuse et sexuelle qui est celle de la première fois. Cela se passe à Londres en juillet 1957, alors que l'auteur, âgé de treize ans, séjourne dans une famille pour apprendre la langue anglaise. Pendant quelques jours, cohabitent violemment dans le même être le désir érotique pour une jeune fille de sept ans son aînée, et la volonté farouche de rester un petit garçon en culottes courtes, attaché à son univers d'enfance." -- 4e de couvOn writing

pleasure, not deprivation. Developed with input from Australia's Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. 2002The Waterfront Journals
By David Wojnarowicz. 2014
Voices from the margins of American life tell tales of trickery, betrayal, sex, and defeat in these short monologues by…
&“a spokesman for the unspeakable&” (New York magazine). In his full but regrettably brief lifetime, David Wojnarowicz was many things: a visual and performance artist whose radical work incensed the right-wing establishment, a tireless AIDS and anticensorship activist, and, most emphatically, a writer. His Waterfront Journals are a remarkable collection of fictionalized stories spoken in the voices of unforgettable characters the author met during his time spent living on America&’s streets and traveling her back roads. The narrators speak from the heart and from the depths of despair, creating an often shocking and powerfully moving mosaic of life in the shadows. Here are junkies and boy hustlers, truckers and hoboes. A runner tells of his encounter with two drug-using priests who openly and proudly discuss their various sexual exploits. Whores tell of johns who brutalized them and corrupt cops who did the same. A young man relays his tale of a seedy movie balcony pickup and his shocking discovery that his &“date&” was not who she seemed. Another man describes sex with an amputee Vietnam veteran. Each of their stories stuns with hard and haunting truths that will leave the reader staggered and breathless, yet exhilarated. From a Lambda Literary Award winner and the subject of a new documentary by Chris McKim, these are &“dispatches from that region of dissolute grace at the city&’s edge&” (Time Out New York).Que signifie prendre racine, habiter un espace, le faire nôtre, le transformer à notre image et, en retour, devenir autre…
sous son influence?? En somme, que signifie devenir «?habitant?»?? Le terme a longtemps été péjoratif chez nous. À tort. Il n’y a pas de plus beau destin que celui d’habiter pleinement un lieu. Ce petit livre en témoigne.
