Par Agata Tuszyńska. 2011
" Wiera Gran était la chanteuse étoile du ghetto de Varsovie. cette "Marlène Dietrich née Grynberg", d'une beauté stupéfiante, à…
la voix chaude, se produit au cœur du Broadway juif d'avril 1941 au printemps 1942, où elle parvient à fuir, laissant derrière elle les siens. Son accompagnateur, Wladislas Szpilman, le "pianiste" du célèbre film de Roman Polanski, passera à la postérité. Elle, non. Pourquoi ? Quelle fut sa faute ? A quel prix peut-on survivre ? Comment savoir ce qui s'est vraiment passé entre les murs du ghetto ? Wiera Gran sera accusée après la guerre d'avoir collaboré avec les nazis, d'avoir chanté devant eux, d'avoir incarné une "Mata-Hari" glamour, une sorte d'agent double. Folle de chagrin, persuadée qu'on la persécutait, juive errante, exilée chantant dans les cabarets de Caracas ou de Tel-Aviv, comme au Carnegie Hall à New York, elle finit sa vie, seule, dans un petit appartement parisien, reine d'un royaume, des ombres et des secrets de la guerre. Elle meurt le 19 novembre 2007. " -- 4e de couvMarie, l'ange rebelle

Par Maurice Vellekoop. 2024
&“Maurice Vellekoop's beautiful graphic memoir feels painfully honest. It's about art and life and families and belief, about who we…
are and what forms us, the magic and the hurt, and it evokes times that are well-lost while reminding us of the battles still being fought every day. Most of all, I think, it's about love.&” —Neil GaimanFor fans of Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, I&’m So Glad We Had This Time Together is an epic graphic memoir about a queer illustrator surviving his intensely Christian childhood in 1970s Toronto.Meet little Maurice Vellekoop, the youngest of four children raised by Dutch immigrants in the 1970s in a blue-collar suburb of Toronto. Despite their working-class milieu, the Vellekoops are devoted to art, music, and film, and they instill a deep reverence for the arts in young Maurice—except for literature. He&’d much rather watch Cher and Carol Burnett on TV than read a book. He also loves playing with his girlfriends&’ Barbie dolls and helping his Mum in her hair salon, which she runs out of the basement of their house. In short, he is really, really gay. Which is a huge problem, because the family is part of the Christian Reformed Church, a strict Calvinist sect. They go to church twice on Sunday, and they send their kids to a private Christian school, catechism classes, and the Calvinist Cadet Corps. Needless to say, the church is intolerant of homosexuality. Though she loves her son deeply, Maurice&’s mother, Ann, cannot accept him, setting the course for a long estrangement. Vellekoop struggles through all of this until he graduates from high school and is accepted into the Ontario College of Art in the early 1980s. Here he finds a welcoming community of bohemians, including a brilliant, flamboyantly gay professor who encourages him to come out. But just as he&’s dipping his toes into the waters of gay sex and love, a series of romantic disasters, followed by a violent attack, sets him back severely. And then the shadow of the AIDS era descends. Maurice reacts by retreating to the safety of childhood obsessions, and seeks to satisfy his emotional needs with film- and theatre-going, music, boozy self-medication, and prolific art-making. When these tactics inevitably fail, Vellekoop at last embarks on a journey towards his heart&’s true desire. In psychotherapy, the spiderweb of family, faith, guilt, sexuality, mental health, the intergenerational fallout of World War II, King Ludwig II of Bavaria, French Formula Hairspray, and much more at last begins to untangle. But it&’s going to be a long, messy, and occasionally hilarious process. I&’m So Glad We Had This Time Together is an enthralling portrait of what it means to be true to yourself, to learn to forgive, and to be an artist.Gender Queer: A Memoir (Gender Queer Ser.)
