Break their hearts. As an adult, my literary palate is diverse, reading everyone from the sublime Michael Cunningham to the gifted Jesmyn Ward to the incomparable Ron Rash.

Recensione di due libri appartenenti alla corrente della Letteratura Southern.La letteratura Southern si prefigge di narrare la propria identità rurale, nonché quella afroamericana, attraverso storie diverse e complesse in grado di riflettere la storia culturale degli Stati Uniti. Attraverso queste narrazioni ricongiungiamo l'identità etnica e socioeconomica del Sud degli USA a una serie di tematiche, stili e registri che mostrano il lato più rurale, afoso e opprimente delle piantagioni, della manodopera schiavistica, delle condizioni degli afroamericani e del movimento per i diritti civili. A prescindere dagli argomenti trattati, ci sono però anche tante sfumature diverse che accomunano i libri della letteratura Southern, come l'essere caratterizzati più in generale da un ritmo lento, che insegue la condizione umana riflettendone la rassegnazione e descrivendola a tratti con un umorismo grottesco.I libri recensiti sono i seguenti:- “La bastarda della Carolina”, di Dorothy Allison, Minimum Fax, 326 pagine;- “Un piede in paradiso” di Ron Rash, La Nuova Frontiera, 256 pagine.Contattami anche tu per commenti, idee e proposte: woozingstar@gmail.comProfilo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zonalettura/Profilo Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/18769234-ludovicaFoto di Gabriele TaorminaMusica: Acoustic Blues e Saloon Rag, di Jason Shaw, da https://audionautix.comRendezvous, di Shane Ivers, da https://www.silvermansound.com

The story “Baptism” was chosen for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories 2018, and “Neighbors” was selected by Jonathan Lethem for The Best American Mystery Stories 2019.

We talk with New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash. He is the author of Serena and Above the Waterfall, in addition to four prizewinning novels, including The Cove, One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, and The World Made Straight. Water runs deep in his writing and he explains how he didn't quite realize it until others started to point it out to him. He talks to us about his grandmother's farm on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the beautiful stream. He shares how his grandmother would never let him go to the spring house. The young Ron loved to catch salamanders and crayfish as a child, but she would not let him disturb the salamanders in the spring house. She felt like they were the guardian spirits of the water. When asked about his favorite water quote, he says it is, "A river is a vein in God's arm." Powerful, right?

RICHARD LANGE READS FROM HIS NEW NOVEL THE SMACK

Rowan Petty is a conman down on his luck. He's flat broke, living out of cheap hotels, and wondering how it all went wrong. His car quits on him in Reno, and he takes a job there on the bottom rung of a lousy phone scam. When he's not swindling lonely widows, he tries to turn nickels into dimes at the poker table. One snowy night, he crosses paths with a sweet-talking hooker who's tired of the streets, and sparks fly. When an old friend of his turns up spreading a rumor about two million dollars in army money smuggled out of Afghanistan and stashed in an apartment in Los Angeles, it seems like a chance at the score of a lifetime. So Petty and the hooker head south, and straight into trouble. A wounded vet, a washed-up actor, and Petty's estranged daughter are all players in the dangerous game they find themselves caught up in. For the winner: a fortune. For the loser: a bullet to the head. Praise for Richard Lange "Lange writes of the disaffections and bewilderments of ordinary lives with as keen an anger and searing lyricism as anybody out there today. He is Raymond Carver reborn in a hard cityscape. Read him and be amazed." -- T.C. Boyle, author of The Harder They Come "When you find yourself rooting for the killer in a grisly crime novel, you know you're in the hands of a real writer. Every character feels like flesh and bone."-- Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "Lange is incapable of creating a character that isn't memorable. Even the most minor are indelibly sketched.... The zone where literary fiction meets genre fiction is a crowded borderland these days. Lange proves himself comfortable on both sides of the line."-- Antoine Wilson, Los Angeles Times "Richard Lange is a natural-born storyteller."-- Ron Rash, author of Above the Waterfall "Make all the comparisons you like-Cormac McCarthy, Dennis Lehane, Martin Scorsese-but Richard Lange is a force of his own, the high standard for crime fiction." -- Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon, The Wilding, andRefresh, Refresh "Lange stands out as the greatest young crime writer of his generation, precisely because he doesn't write crime - he writes literature." -- Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight and Bad Sex on Speed "The Smack just might be Mr. Lange's best yet, and that's saying something. His Los Angeles tableau of concrete and graffiti and neon is as sharp as razor wire. The characters are authentic down to the bone, the dialogue pitch-perfect believable, the desperation palpable, the situation urgent, the story riveting. Simply put, The Smack wallops you upside the head with its bad-ass-ness."-- Tom Cooper, author of The Marauders "If Elmore Leonard and Dennis Cooper collaborated on a novel, they might produce something as exciting, harrowing and emotionally powerful as The Smack. Call it a literary thriller or call it thrilling literature--Richard Lange is emerging as the master of a new kind of novel: One that delivers breathless, gripping action while anchored in the authentic troubles of the real world. The Smack arrives like a genuine miracle--that rare thriller that will jack your pulse even as it breaks your heart."-- Adam Sternbergh, author of Shovel Ready "The Smack is much more than a crime novel. It is a novel about life itself. The secret to great writing isn't just to observe. It's to create a world that readers understand at least as well as they do their own. Richard Lange has accomplished this, and more. His sensitivity and pacing are reminiscent of Raymond Carver, Charles Willeford, and Jim Thompson." -- Gerald Petievich, author of To Live and Die in L.A. and The Sentinel "It's hard to imagine Richard Lange wasn't, in some previous life, a hustler from Reno with a girlfriend named Tinafey he met on a professional date who goes to LA to steal a fortune from a one-legged soldier home from Afghanistan and a host of other terrifying individuals. The characters are real and satisfying, the relationships will warm your heart and break it at the same time. The Smack is convincing, hectic and terrific fun."-- Joe Ide, author of IQ Event date: Thursday, July 20, 2017 - 7:30pm

Mission encre noire Tome 22 Chapitre 272 Les yeux tristes de mon camion de Serge Bouchard paru en 2017 aux éditions Boréal collection Compact. Serge Bouchard, de cette voix profonde et unique, fait couler nos rivières, celle du Lièvre et celle du Loup, celles là qui ont une belle robe rouge, l'Olomane et la Romaine des Innus. Plus loin, il s'attarde sur les courses des caribous dans la poudreuse. Celle-ci se fait plus rauque lorsqu'elle hante les montagnes rugueuses de la Sierra Nevada, errante parmi les fantômes des centaines de nations originales qui vivaient là - Miwoks, Yuroks, Karoks, Mohaves... Elle gagne en agilité et en souplesse à l'évocation de ces hommes et de ces femmes qui ont fait l'amérique, ces canadien-e-s français-e-es qui ont couru à la découverte de ces pays fabuleux. Cette grande voix solide au timbre plus corsé s'accote aux souvenirs inoubliables de la tête ronde d'un Mack modèle B, de la trame sonore des matchs de baseball les soirs d'été, du Nebraska, de Santa Monica, des oncles et des tantes d'Amérique, et bien d'autres. Serge Bouchard, anthropologue, auteur, animateur, conteur formidable, nous raconte Son Amérique, il a voyagé sans relâche pour ça, et c'est lui qui chauffe. Il est notre invité à Mission encre noire. Extrait: « Je me souviens de longues soirées d'été, heures de méditation et de contemplation, seul sur la plage, comme une chose échouée, quelque part entre Migan et Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. J'écoutais la tranquillité du onde, assis sur le sable fin. Des macareux arctiques, que les pêcheurs appelaient des « perroquets », volaient en groupes au fil de l'eau. Oui, les oiseaux de mer étaient au rendez-vous, istorlets et moyaks, canards noirs, goélands anglais, outardes, je voyais même parfois des balbuzards. Mais cela n'étais rien encore. Il arrivait qu'une orque épaulard surgisse hors de l'eau, comme un missile lisse et métallique ; elle s'élevait dans un sifflement irréel et majestueux avant de retomber avec fracas dans l'eau noire et calme de l'océan tranquille. J'étais conscient d'assister aux instants mythiques de la vraie nature du temps. Des petits rorquals se montraient aussi, en bandes, comme les phoques apeurés. Bientôt le soleil allait se coucher, disparaître derrière moi, il descendait dans les épinettes pour aller faire le beau de l'autre côté de la terre. J'avais la jeunesse et la paix, deux choses qui vont bien ensemble, quoi qu'on en dise. Derrière moi, la forêt chétive, la mémoire boréale, le pays des Indiens. Devant moi, la mer. » Par le vent pleuré de Ron Rash paru en 2017 aux éditions du Seuil. 1969 à Sylva, une petite ville des Appalaches, deux frères partent pêcher un dimanche après la messe. L'écho de la guerre du Vietnam et des émeutes de Berkeley appartiennent encore à une autre planète. Et pourtant cette silhouette qui jaillit des eaux de la Panther Creek, Ligeia Mosely, une sirène qui n'avait pas regagné l'océan, va bouleverser, le temps d'un été, la vision du monde. Au son du Grateful Dead, des Doors, de Jefferson Airplane, la jeune femme amène un vent de plaisirs et de liberté, qui emportera Bill et Eugene, au prise avec un grand-père tuteur tyrannique, dans un tourbillon macabre. Quarante six ans plus tard, la découverte de petits ossements blancs dans des lambeaux de bâche bleue, déposés par la rivière, rappelle les frères à leur passé. Ron Rash se tient debout face à la mémoire et tourne son regard vers un sud en pleine révolution culturel, Par le vent pleuré est un superbe roman noir. Extrait: « À San Francisco, le Summer of Love, l'été de l'amour, a eu lieu en 1967, mais il a fallu deux ans pour qu'il atteigne le petit monde provincial des Appalaches. Sur l'autoroute, en février, on a aperçu un hippie au volant d'un minibus bariolé, un événement dûment signalé dans le Sylva Herald. Sinon, la contre-culture était quelque chose qu'on ne voyait qu'à la télévision, tout aussi exotique qu'un pingouin ou un palmier nain. En ce mois de juin, les seuls petits signes de changement étaient deux ou trois étudiants de l'université de Caroline du Nord revenus de Chapel Hill pourvus de chevelures plus broussailleuses. Notre grand-père ne permettait pas à nos cheveux de toucher notre col, mais de toute façon Bill ne les aurait pas laissés pousser.» L'amour est une maladie ordinaire de François Szabowski paru en 2017 aux éditions Le Tripode. Francois est heureux en amour. Il a rencontré son âme soeur. Leur entente est parfaite. Tandis que Marie s'endort contre lui dans le petit studio de la rue des Pyrénées à Paris, il arrête de se voiler la face: elle est tombée amoureuse de lui. Il n'a plus le choix, il lui faut disparaître. Pour que leur amour reste à son apogée, il achète une bouteille de vodka et une grande tablette d'anxiolytique et se précipite vers le canal. Cynique farce, ce journal d'un goujat ordinaire est une lecture divertissante, qui vous fera réagir à plus d'un titre. Cet égoïsme sans limite dissimule une réflexion plus sombre sur l'amour. L'auteur fait preuve d'audace et d'originalité pour nous surprendre avec une observation acide sur la vie moderne. Extrait: « Et puis, à vrai dire, je ressentais aussi comme une sorte de seconde jeunesse à me transformer à nouveau. Après mon costume de corbeau surmonté d'un oeuf dur et d'un bouc, j'étais maintenant un petit feu follet de couleurs avec ces chemises à carreaux, ces pantalons serrés, ces lunettes à grosses monture noire qui barraient mon visage, et cette barbe qui recouvrait mes joues. Je continuais à porter la perruque car mes cheveux n'avaient pas encore suffisamment repoussé, mais d'ici peu de temps j'allais devenir tout à fait un nouvel homme. J'avais une chance inouïe. La plupart des gens choisissent généralement l'identité qui sera la leur pendant leur vie entre l'adolescence et leurs 25-30 ans. Là, durant cette période, ils expérimentent différents styles, différents modes de vie, de pensée. Ils pourront être punks, hippies, dandys ou métalleux, gauchistes ou réactionnaires. Mais à partir de 30 ans, tout se fige. Ils font un choix, et ne s'en éloignent jamais vraiment beaucoup. Moi, j'avais la possibilité de prolonger cette jeunesse, cet esprit d'invention.»

Mission encre noire Tome 16 Chapitre 216 Une émission militante sur fond de tragédie écologique annoncée. Le chant de la Tamassee de Ron Rash paru en 2016 aux éditions du Seuil est le second roman de l'auteur. La traduction tardive arrive bien après ses succès les plus reconnus. Une jeune femme s'est noyée dans la rivière sauvage, la Tamassee, frontière naturelle entre la Caroline du sud et la Géorgie. Le comté d'Oconee devient le territoire de conflits brutaux entre partisans écologistes et la famille d'un riche homme d'affaire de l'Illinois. Ce second roman nous révèle déjà les grandes lignes de l'écriture et de l'univers sudiste de Ron Rash. Extrait: «Il était encore trop tôt pour qu'il y ait beaucoup de touristes, mais Billy était déjà assis dans un fauteuil à bascule sur la galerie branlante de son magasin, un livre à la main et un labrador retriever brun à ses pieds. Il portait une chemise en flanelle déchirée et une salopette délavée. Une barbe noire drapait son menton tels des filaments de mousse espagnole. Il ne manquait à son costume qu'une pipe en épi de maïs. Billy avait un diplôme d'ingénieur agricole de l'université de Clemson et sa famille possédant le plus grand verger de pommiers de la vallée, mais après la fac il avait décidé que sa véritable vocation était d'incarner le personnage de Snuffy Smith, pour plumer les touristes. Il jurait que s'il pouvait trouver un gamin bigleux sachant jouer du banjo il le collerait sur la galerie et augmenterait ainsi son chiffre d'affaire de vingt-cinq pour cent.» Seriez-vous friands (es) de thriller d'anticipation chargé d'adrelanine, que Résilience de Yannick Monget paru en 2016 aux éditions De la Martinière vous serait idéalement désigné. L'auteur choisi de nous parler des enjeux autour de l'exploitation du nucléaire dans un roman hypnotisant et ultra documenté. Il est à peu près certains que vous n'y resterez pas insensible, ou du moins,Résilience vous laissera, au mieux, un goût étrange dans la bouche, au pire, un soupir de découragement tangible devant le constat tragique de la dérive de nos institutions à l'égard des dangers qui nous guettent. Extrait:«Une nouvelle image remplaça la précédente. Les halos lumineux témoignant de la présence des habitants avaient tous disparu. Frédéric tendit son regard pour tenter de comprendre. Les habitants étaient en réalité toujours présents, mais beaucoup moins lumineux, prostrés dans des positions qui ne laissaient guère de doute sur ce qu'il était advenu d'eux... - Les photographies aériennes semblent montrer que toute la population de la ville de Kansaï a été décimée entre six heures et demie et dix heures, heure locale, détailla Pochin.» Agenda : Suuns en showcase le 18 avril 2016 à 18 h au magasin Phonopolis à Montréal.

Craig Buchner's story is a gritty depiction of what kind of desperation poverty can breed and his lean and pointed writing captures the casual nature of this common doom. Today's story is a darker one, but it is also a vivid look at where our choices and our circumstances can take us. Craig's story first appeared in Hobart Magazine.
