by Toni Morrison · Knopf

Toni Morrison prétend être entrée en littérature par effraction. Pourtant, en 1993, elle devient la huitième femme et le premier écrivain noir américain couronné par le prix Nobel. C'est en 1988 qu'elle reçoit une première consécration - le prestigieux prix Pulitzer - pour son cinquième roman, Beloved. " Beloved est une inscription gravée sur une tombe : le nom d'un fantôme. Celui d'une petite fille égorgée par sa mère, une esclave noire évadée d'une plantation en 1870. Un crime commis au nom de l'amour et de la détresse pour que l'enfant ne retombe pas aux mains du maître. A travers la malédiction d'un bébé qui revient hanter sa mère, le roman de Toni Morrison conte la folie de l'esclavage bien plus puissamment que les Racines les plus noires. " Christophe Tison, Glamour, 1990

The award-winning, bestselling debut collection of "beautifully crafted stories" from the acclaimed author of The Doubter's Almanac ( Chicago Sun-Times). Highly acclaimed and wildly successful upon its debut, Ethan Canin's now classic collection of nine stories combines exquisite precision, humor, and a rare maturity of observation, capturing those miraculous moments when life opens up and presents itself to us. Full of life, rich with personal history, plot, and revelation, the stories in Emperor of the Air are the work of an extraordinarily gifted young writer. Capturing a wide range of vivid characters and their unforgettable moments of ache, epiphany, humor, and wisdom, Canin would go on to prove himself as "the most mature and accomplished novelist of his generation" (NPR). "Dazzling . . . at times breathtaking, at other times heartbreaking." —Walker Percy "A glowing first book . . . An engrossing and unified collection." —Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe
