On s'y fera

On s'y fera

Autor: Zoyâ Pirzâd

Número de Páginas: 258

Quand on découvre que Zardjou, l’homme qui remet en question la vie d’Arezou, est marchand de serrures, on peut y voir l’ironie d’un signe plus subtil qu’il n’y paraît. Les apparences sont trompeuses ; on entre avec plus de vigilance et de curiosité dans une belle histoire d’amour. À travers le destin d’une femme active, divorcée, partagée entre sa mère et sa fille, trois générations s’affrontent dans un monde où règnent depuis longtemps les interdits et le non-dit. On suit Arezou, au bord du rire ou des larmes, sous la neige, espérant avec elle profiter enfin d’une certaine beauté de la vie. Dans un roman d’une richesse et d’une vigueur exceptionnelles, Zoyâ Pirzâd brosse à la fois le portrait d’une société pleine de contradictions et celui d’une femme passionnante, aussi drôle et attachante qu’une héroïne de Jane Austen.

La marchande de sable est un récit où se confrontent langues et histoires, peuples nomades et sédentaires, désert et ville. Il est question d’une petite fille, nommée Schéhérazade, et de ses pouvoirs étranges. Elle a un rapport complexe à la langue arabe, qui est pour elle à la fois langue étrangère et langue paternelle. Utilisant cette langue, elle fait appel à son père. Mais quand le père arrive, il est trop tard. La ville doit-elle imposer une seule langue, sédentaire, enracinée? La ville qui a opté pour la fixité (par contraste à la mobilité nomade) se trouve infectée par l’arabe, infection qui sera la cause de sa destruction.

Un premier roman original, qui raconte l'apprentissage du bonheur de personnages attachants Désiré, balayeur de la Ville de Paris, trouve dans le métro une sacoche oubliée, contenant un ordinateur. Et lorsqu'il découvre à l'écran les premières pages d'un roman, cette lecture réveille en lui un enthousiasme bien enfoui depuis son départ de la lointaine île Maurice.

In Women We Trust

In Women We Trust

Autor: Naim Haroon Sakhia

Número de Páginas: 384

A teenager’s indiscretion becomes a family tragedy and threatens to become a national scandal in this Pakistan-set drama. Gul is the 15-year-old son of poor people who work for Sardar Timur, a wealthy and powerful man in Hayatabad, Pakistan. He’s suddenly pulled into a brief sexual encounter with Timur’s daughter, Farah, on whom he has had a longtime crush, and the two are discovered in an unlucky moment that has extraordinary reverberations. Furious at what he feels is his mortification, Timur calls for a Panchayat, an “informal justice system” that empowers a council of locals to mete out determinations of guilt and innocence. Author Sakhia astutely captures the nature of these easily corruptible proceedings, which are officially illegal but largely ignored by the police. For Gul and his family, the stakes couldn’t be higher; he could be castrated or killed, and his relations could also suffer gruesome fates. Meanwhile, French journalist Arlette Baudis, who has accused the prime minister of Pakistan of sexual harassment, attempts to make the Panchayat fiasco into an issue of international interest—not only to highlight the nation’s corruption but also to...
