travail quotidien et surtout par les soucis que lui cause son insupportable beau-père, Norman Purse, un vieux satrape aux révoltantes manies, combinant avec un rare bonheur l'égoïsme, le sans-gêne et l'obsession sexuelle sénile. Déjà expulsé de toutes les maisons de retraite convenables, Norman semblait impossible à recaser. C'est alors qu'un cousin de Ravi, un homme d'affaires au dynamisme sans bornes, va créer en Inde une chaîne de maisons de retraite très "Vieille Angleterre", où les Britanniques d'âge avancé, déconcertés et parfois même affolés par les conditions de vie nouvelles de leur pays natal, pourront retrouver, au soleil et dans la paix, les moeurs et l'atmosphère de leur jeunesse évanouie. Dans la grande tradition de la littérature satirique anglaise, Deborah Moggach met en scène avec un humour acerbe, mais souvent teinté de tendresse, ce petit monde dépassé par le temps, mais qui ne va tarder à découvrir que la vie peut encore apporter d'étranges bonheurs". -- 4e de couvL'espoir, cette tragédie

Par Tim O'Brien. 2023
"Tim O'Brien is the one American author whose works I look forward to the most. His new novel's ironic depiction…
of a post-Iraq war, mid-COVID, and mid-Trump world is piercing and razor-sharp." — HARUKI MURAKAMI An American Master returns: the author of The Things They Carried delivers his first new novel in two decades, a brilliant and rollicking odyssey, in which a bank robbery sparks "a satirical romp through a country plagued by deceit" (Kirkus, starred review) Named one of Fall 2023's most anticipated books: New York Times, Associated Press, Esquire, Kirkus, Goodreads, LitHub, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and more At 11:34 a.m. one Saturday in August 2019, Boyd Halverson strode into Community National Bank in Northern California. "How much is on hand, would you say?" he asked the teller. "I'll want it all." "You're robbing me?" He revealed a Temptation .38 Special. The teller, a diminutive redhead named Angie Bing, collected eighty-one thousand dollars. Boyd stuffed the cash into a paper grocery bag. "I'm sorry about this," he said, "but I'll have to ask you to take a ride with me." So begins the adventure of Boyd Halverson—star journalist turned notorious online disinformation troll turned JCPenney manager—and his irrepressible hostage, Angie Bing. Haunted by his past and weary of his present, Boyd has one goal before the authorities catch up with him: settle a score with the man who destroyed his life. By Monday the pair reach Mexico; by winter, they are in a lakefront mansion in Minnesota. On their trail are hitmen, jealous lovers, ex-cons, an heiress, a billionaire shipping tycoon, a three-tour veteran of Iraq, and the ghosts of Boyd's past. Everyone, it seems, except the police. In the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain, America Fantastica delivers a biting, witty, and entertaining story about the causes and costs of outlandish fantasy, while also marking the triumphant return of an essential voice in American letters. And at the heart of the novel, amid a teeming cast of characters, readers will delight in the tug-of-war between two memorable and iconic human beings—the exuberant savior-of-souls Angie Bing and the penitent but compulsive liar Boyd Halverson. Just as Tim O'Brien's modern classic, The Things They Carried, so brilliantly reflected the unromantic truth of war, America Fantastica puts a mirror to a nation and a time that has become dangerously unmoored from truth and greedy for delusionA place for miss snow
