By Anne Parent. 2023
Depuis l’enfance, une femme avance, se perd, se métamorphose jusqu’à la disparition, ses pieds dans le sable, ses cheveux au…
soleil, ses mains ouvertes, son corps fatigué. L’intimité de sa chambre abandonnée explose de mystère et révèle à voix basse l’histoire de ses joies et de ses douleurs. En un réseau serré d’échos poétiques, Anne Martine Parent intrique silhouettes et fantômes, constellations, forêts, villes de sable et plages en ruines. Les peaux raccommodées de feuilles mortes, les corps féminins trahis et disloqués, qui se défont et se recomposent, deviennent autant de lieux de réparation, d’horizons fulgurants qu’on échafaude en retenant son souffle.Pageboy: A memoir
By Elliot Page. 2023
The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth. "Can I kiss you?"…
It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. With Juno's massive success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was enough. Full of behind the scenes details and intimate interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood, Pageboy is the story of a life pushed to the brink. But at its core, this beautifully written, winding journey of what it means to untangle ourselves from the expectations of others is an ode to stepping into who we truly are with defiance, strength, and joy.La série du siècle: Telle que je l'ai vécue

pays qui a inventé le hockey, et l'Union soviétique, qui a commencé à y jouer 26 ans plus tôt, croisent le fer. Ayant vécu lui-même cet événement historique au cœur de l'action, Ken Dryden, gardien de but légendaire et auteur à succès, nous le raconte comme si nous y étions, nous faisant vivre le jeu minute par minute. Cette série, la plus importante de toutes, changea à jamais le hockey. C'est sans doute aussi l'un des moments les plus marquants de notre histoire. Grâce à Ken Dryden, nous comprenons enfin pourquoi.Discussions avec mes parents
