Par Maeve DuVally. 2023
When Maeve DuVally came out as a transgender woman while working as a corporate communications manager at Goldman Sachs, she…
knew she couldn't do it quietly. DuVally intimately documents her struggle to be herself in this environment, initially keeping her identity a secret with wardrobe changes in the lobby bathroom after work. Eventually she declares herself and, to her surprise, Goldman Sachs embraces the effort. Surgery follows. When DuVally finally takes those first steps on heels through the corridors of this institution on the way to her first meeting as a woman, the listener cheers. A New York Times story helped her realize she could become a role model for other transgender people and branded Goldman Sachs as a model for corporations assisting their transitioning employees. Before she found her courage, DuVally's life was mired in depression and unconscious struggle. Raised in an Irish Catholic family with a sadistic pathologist father, her upbringing dropped her into an adulthood plagued by alcoholism. At Goldman Sachs, she ascends to a top communications position before her drinking begins to encroach upon her work. Finally, DuVally hits bottom, becoming sober after a lifetime in and out of AA and rehab. Clear at last, she begins to understand the source of her lifelong struggle and takes the bold step to become the woman she is nowPas de chevaux dans la maison!: La vie audacieuse de l’artiste Rosa Bonheur

memoir that’s "as funny as it is original" ( The New York Times ). "A masterful, must-read contribution to conversations on power, justice, healing, and devotion from a singular voice I now trust with my whole heart."—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed AN AUDACIOUS BOOK CLUB PICK • SHORTLISTED FOR THE BROOKLYN PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOK PRIZE • A BOOK RIOT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR When fourteen-year-old Lamya H realizes she has a crush on her teacher—her female teacher—she covers up her attraction, an attraction she can’t yet name, by playing up her roles as overachiever and class clown. Born in South Asia, she moved to the Middle East at a young age and has spent years feeling out of place, like her own desires and dreams don’t matter, and it’s easier to hide in plain sight. To disappear. But one day in Quran class, she reads a passage about Maryam that changes everything: When Maryam learned that she was pregnant, she insisted no man had touched her. Could Maryam, uninterested in men, be . . . like Lamya? From that moment on, Lamya makes sense of her struggles and triumphs by comparing her experiences with some of the most famous stories in the Quran. She juxtaposes her coming out with Musa liberating his people from the pharoah; asks if Allah, who is neither male nor female, might instead be nonbinary; and, drawing on the faith and hope Nuh needed to construct his ark, begins to build a life of her own—ultimately finding that the answer to her lifelong quest for community and belonging lies in owning her identity as a queer, devout Muslim immigrant. This searingly intimate memoir in essays, spanning Lamya’s childhood to her arrival in the United States for college through early-adult life in New York City, tells a universal story of courage, trust, and love, celebrating what it means to be a seeker and an architect of one’s own lifeJ'accuse les tortionnaires d'Omar Khadr

l’enfer de Guantanamo Bay, où il croupira pendant 10 ans sans espoir de procès digne de ce nom. Radicalisé par son père, un proche de ben Laden, l'enfant-soldat se retrouve à l'épicentre d’un conflit où les fondements mêmes de la justice, soumis à un remaniement unilatéral par les Américains, sont pulvérisés. Emprisonné arbitrairement, privé de tout droit, il est non seulement laissé en pâture à ses geôliers, mais pris en otage par des politiciens, dont Stephen Harper, qui exploitent ce filon électoral puissant sans scrupules ni morale. Maintes sources et révélations inédites à l’appui, Frédéric Bérard expose, dans ce livre-choc, les dessous méconnus de l'une des pires tragédies judiciaires occidentales de l'histoire récente. En plongeant dans ce drame insensé, il fait émerger cette vérité accablante : sous d'autres habits peut-être, les tortionnaires d'Omar Khadr sont encore parmi nous.Who is megan rapinoe? (Who Was?)
