taking us through two years of surrealism and limbo.—Margaret AtwoodThis exploration of the many new terms of the Covid-19 pandemic provides insight into the ways an ever-evolving vocabulary helped us cope with our anxiety and adapt to a new reality When the pandemic struck in early 2020, Wayne Grady started collecting the words and phrases that arose from our shared global experience. Some, such as "uptick" and "pivot," had existed before but now took on new meaning, and others, such as "covidivorce," "quarantini," "covexit," and "shecession," appeared for the first time, their meaning instantly clear. Through this new vocabulary, we became more able to adapt to change, to domesticate it in a sense, and to reduce our fears. Moving from the very beginning of the pandemic (the "Before Times") and our early response to it through the peaks and troughs of the various waves in countries throughout the world, and ending with a contemplation of what the "After Times" might look like, this book takes us on a journey through the pandemic and illuminates both how this new language has unfolded and how it has changed the way we think about ourselves and each other.Once a Girl, Always a Boy: A Family Memoir of a Transgender Journey

plusieurs personnalités mythiques, réelles ou fictives, qui ont toutes aujourd'hui valeur d'archétype. Chanteuse avant tout, actrice à ses heures, celle qui aura été l'un des plus grands monstres sacrés du music-hall d'après-guerre occupe désormais une place de choix dans la mémoire collective. Publié d'abord quinze ans après sa disparition, ce livre est le tout premier essai consacré à la créatrice de Gigi L'Amoroso. Un texte singulier, un regard lucide sur une artiste célèbre, mais néanmoins méconnue. Au-delà de l'anecdote, est mise en lumière ici l'extraordinaire complexité du personnage Dalida, un être dont l'existence et let travail s'enchevêtrent jusqu'à former une œuvre apparemment éclatée, mais forte pourtant d'une implacable cohérence
