Un jour, j'ai constaté mes énormes difficultés à surmonter la mort. Après de nombreuses épreuves, j'en étais arrivé à craindre…
la vie. Alors, tel un archéologue, j'ai entrepris des fouilles importantes pour dénicher des écrits sur ce sujet. Au bout de quelques jours d'intenses lectures, j'ai non seulement trouvé le thème du deuil fascinant, mais j'ai aussi découvert des pistes de solutions possibles à mon problème. Je me suis également rappelé que certaines personnalités que je connaissais avaient vécu des deuils importants et qu'elles s'en étaient sorties vainqueurs. J'ai donc décidé d'aller à leur rencontre et de partager leurs histoires avec vous. Leurs témoignages authentiques, touchants et réconfortants ont jeté un éclairage nouveau sur ce que je croyais être un événement insurmontable : le deuil. Désormais, j'ai la conviction que les petits et les grands deuils qui jalonnent le parcours de nos vies sont des Passages obligés. -- 4e de couvHealing foods

Liliana's invincible summer: A sister's search for justice
Par Cristina Garza. 2023
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • "A searing account of grief and the…
quest to bring her sister’s murderer to justice years after the fact" ( The Boston Globe ) , from "one of Mexico’s greatest living writers" (Jonathan Lethem). "Cristina Rivera Garza wanted to shed light on the life of her sister, killed 30 years ago. . . . The record of a woman who, against the odds, refuses to be forgotten." —The New York Times A WASHINGTON POST AND TIME BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR October 18, 2019. Cristina Rivera Garza travels from her home in Texas to Mexico City, in search of an old, unresolved criminal file. "My name is Cristina Rivera Garza," she writes in her request to the attorney general, "and I am writing to you as a relative of Liliana Rivera Garza, who was murdered on July 16, 1990." It’s been twenty-nine years. Twenty-nine years, three months, and two days since Liliana was murdered by an abusive ex-boyfriend. Inspired by feminist movements across the world and enraged by the global epidemic of femicide and intimate partner violence, Cristina embarks on a path toward justice . Liliana’s Invincible Summer is the account—and the outcome—of that quest . In luminous, poetic prose, Rivera Garza tells a singular yet universally resonant story: Liliana is a spirited, wondrously hopeful young woman who tried to survive in a world of increasingly normalized gendered violence. Rivera Garza traces her sister’s history, depicting everything from Liliana’s early romance with a handsome but possessive and short-tempered man to that exhilarating final summer of 1990 when she loved, thought, and traveled more widely and freely than she ever had before. Using her skills as an acclaimed scholar, novelist, and poet, Rivera Garza collected and curated evidence—handwritten letters, police reports, school notebooks, interviews with Liliana’s loved ones—to document her sister’s life. Through this remarkable and genre-defying memoir, she confronts the trauma of losing her sister and examines how this tragedy continues to shape who she is—and what she fights for—todayDay of the dead: A first look (Read about Holidays (Read for a Better World))

I am still with you: A reckoning with silence, inheritance, and history
Par Emmanuel Iduma. 2023
"Powerful and transcendent" — Chigozie Obioma "Both epic and intimate" —Margo Jefferson A deeply moving, lyrical journey through the author's…
homeland of Nigeria, in search of the truth about his disappeared uncle and the history of a war that shaped him, his family, and a nation In inimitable, rhythmic prose, the author and winner of the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize Emmanuel Iduma tells the story of his return to Nigeria, where he grew up, after years of living in New York. He traveled home with an elusive mission: to learn the fate of his uncle Emmanuel, his namesake, who disappeared in the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s. A conflict that left so many families broken, the war remains at the margins of the history books, almost taboo to discuss. To find answers, Iduma stopped in city after city throughout the former Biafra region, reconnecting with relatives dear and distant to probe their memories, prowling university libraries to furtively photocopy illicit books, and visiting half-abandoned monuments along the highway. Perhaps, he realized, if he could understand how his father grieved the loss of a brother in the war, he might learn how to grieve his late father in turn. His is also the story of countless families across the country and across the world who will never have answers or proper funerals for their loved ones. It's a story about the birth of an artist, about writing itself as an act both healing and political, even dangerous. And it's a story about family history and legacy, and all the questions the dead leave unanswered. How much of the author's identity is wrapped up in this inheritance? And what does it mean to return home, when the people who define it are gone? Equal parts memoir, national history, and political reckoning, I Am Still With You is a profoundly personal story of collective loss and making peace with the unknowableWhile you were out: An intimate family portrait of mental illness in an era of silence
Par Meg Kissinger. 2023
From award-winning journalist Meg Kissinger, a searing memoir of a family besieged by mental illness, as well as an incisive…
exploration of the systems that failed them and a testament to the love that sustained them. Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger's family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy. Whether they were spending summer days on the shores of Lake Michigan, barreling down the ski slopes, or navigating the trials of their Catholic school, the Kissingers always knew how to live large and play hard. But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding—a heavily medicated mother hospitalized for anxiety and depression, a manic father prone to violence, and children in the throes of bipolar disorder and depression, two of whom would take their own lives. Through it all, the Kissingers faced the world with their signature dark humor and the unspoken family rule: never talk about it. While You Were Out begins as the personal story of one family's struggles then opens outward, as Kissinger details how childhood tragedy catalyzed a journalism career focused on exposing our country's flawed mental health care. Combining the intimacy of memoir with the rigor of investigative reporting, the book explores the consequences of shame, the havoc of botched public policy, and the hope offered by new treatment strategies. Powerful, candid and filled with surprising humor, this is the story of one family's love and resilience in face of great loss
