et l’illustrateur ont rédigé ou contribué aux descriptions des images, qui sont incluses dans le corps et la narration du texte. Florent, un garçon de dix ans, surprend une conversation entre ses mamans : devant l'état de la planète, elles se demandent si elles veulent avoir un deuxième enfant. À travers une série de mots impossibles à comprendre, il retient l’hésitation dans leurs voix, la peur dans leurs yeux, la main que l’une pose sur le ventre de l’autre, comme quand il n’arrive plus à s’endormir. Florent comprend qu’il y a trop d’humains sur Terre, qu’il ne faut plus faire d’enfants, qu’il aurait fallu arrêter bien avant et que lui-même est de trop. Ses mamans entendront-elles son cri silencieux?Par Colleen Nelson, Kathie MacIsaac. 2023

it easier than ever for young people to see their dreams and to live their dreams!Par Barbara L. Bellows. 2006
Josephine Pinckney (1895--1957) was an award-winning, best-selling author whose work critics frequently compared to that of Jane Austen, Edith Wharton,…
and Isak Dinesen. Her flair for storytelling and trenchant social commentary found expression in poetry, five novels -- Three O'Clock Dinner was the most successful -- stories, essays, and reviews. Pinckney belonged to a distinguished South Carolina family and often used Charleston as her setting, writing in the tradition of Ellen Glasgow by blending social realism with irony, tragedy, and humor in chronicling the foibles of the South's declining upper class. Barbara L. Bellows has produced the first biography of this very private woman and emotionally complex writer, whose life story is also the history of a place and time -- Charleston in the first half of the twentieth century.In A Talent for Living, Pinckney's life unfolds like a novel as she struggles to escape aristocratic codes and the ensnaring bonds of southern ladyhood and to embrace modern freedoms. In 1920, with DuBose Heyward and Hervey Allen, she founded the Poetry Society of South Carolina, which helped spark the southern literary renaissance. Her home became a center of intellectual activity with visitors such as the poet Amy Lowell, the charismatic presidential candidate Wendell Willkie, and the founding editor of theSaturday Review of Literature Henry Seidel Canby. Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, she absorbed popular contemporary influences, particularly that of Freudian psychology, even as she retained an almost Gothic imagination shaped in her youth by the haunting, tragic beauty of the Low Country and its mystical Gullah culture.A skilled stylist, Pinckney excelled in creating memorable characters, but she never scripted an individual as engaging or intriguing as herself. Bellows offers a fascinating, exhaustively researched portrait of this onetime cultural icon and her well-concealed personal life.Par Tracy Daugherty. 2023

Larry McMurtry: A Life traces his origins as one of the last American writers who had direct contact with this country’s pioneer traditions.

A sweeping and insightful look at a versatile, one-of-a-kind American writer, this book is a must-read for every Larry McMurtry fan.Par Lorissa Rinehart. 2023
The first authoritative biography of pioneering photojournalist Dickey Chapelle, who from World War II through the early days of Vietnam…
got her story by any means necessary as one of the first female war correspondents."I side with prisoners against guards, enlisted men against officers, weakness against power."From the beginning of World War II through the early days of Vietnam, groundbreaking female photojournalist and war correspondent Dickey Chapelle chased dangerous assignments her male colleagues wouldn’t touch, pioneering a radical style of reporting that focused on the humanity of the oppressed. She documented conditions across Eastern Europe in the wake of the Second World War. She marched down the Ho Chi Minh Trail with the South Vietnamese Army and across the Sierra Maestra Mountains with Castro. She was the first reporter accredited with the Algerian National Liberation Front, and survived torture in a communist Hungarian prison. She dove out of planes, faked her own kidnapping, and endured the mockery of male associates, before ultimately dying on assignment in Vietnam with the Marines in 1965, the first American female journalist killed while covering combat.Chapelle overcame discrimination both on the battlefield and at home, with much of her work ultimately buried from the public eye—until now. In First to the Front, Lorissa Rinehart uncovers the incredible life and unparalleled achievements of this true pioneer, and the mark she would make on history.Par Jemele Hill. 2022

ESPN SportsCenter coanchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life’s battles might be.Jemele Hill’s world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need—a calling—to break her family’s cycle of intergenerational trauma. Born in the middle of a lively routine Friday night Monopoly game to a teen mother and a heroin-addicted father, Hill constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of not only her own childhood but the inherited generational pain of her mother and grandmother. Her escape was writing. Hill’s mother was less than impressed with the brassy and bold free expression of her diary, but Hill never stopped discovering and amplifying her voice. Through hard work and a constant willingness to learn, Hill rose from newspaper reporter to columnist to new heights as the coanchor for ESPN’s revered SportsCenter. Soon, she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence, as well as a reputation as a trusted journalist who speaks her mind with truth and conviction. In Jemele Hill’s journey Uphill, she shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in an unapologetic, character-rich, and eloquent memoir.Par Sarah Prout. 2022

Flores en el barro es un recordatorio de que la vida no siempre es perfecta y que a veces nos…
encontramos hundidos en el fango del dolor, la pérdida y las dificultades. Sin embargo, en ese barro se esconden semillas que florecen en medio de la adversidad, dándonos la fuerza para superar los obstáculos y brillar incluso en los momentos más oscuros. Flores en el barro sumerge al lector en mundos fascinantes a través de un conjunto de reflexiones, poemas y relatos unidos por un hilo invisible: la posibilidad de los protagonistas de cambiar el rumbo de sus vidas. La vida o la muerte. Seguir o frenarse. Romper o reparar. Repetir o cortar el patrón. El barro o la flor de loto. En sus páginas Lorena Pronsky nos invita a comprender que cada final es siempre un nuevo comienzo. Que darnos cuenta de que nuestros pies se hunden en el lodo es también la oportunidad de iniciar una nueva historia. A su vez reflexiona sobre la importancia de tomar decisiones meditadas y aprovechar las ocasiones de cambio que se nos presentan, a pesar del costo emocional que a veces puedan implicar para nosotros y nuestros seres queridos. La paciencia y la confianza son los dos elementos claves a lo largo de este proceso de transformación personal, aquello que nos permitirá cruzar al otro lado del dolor y presenciar el florecimiento de nuestros propios pétalos. Antes de extender los brazos para emprender el vuelo, debemos dejar atrás nuestro estado anterior; cortar el cordón que nos ata. Es un acto tan sencillo como doloroso que nos abrirá la puerta a una nueva forma de existencia, en la cual el pasado no se niega ni se elimina, sino que pasa a ser una parte vital de nuestro crecimiento. En Flores en el barro, la pregunta nunca es, entonces, si elegimos barro o elegimos loto. En uno anida el otro. Florecer está en nosotros.Par June Cotner. 2014
