" Comprendre la plaisanterie n'est pas toujours chose facile, ni un art aussi abordable qu'on pourrait le penser. Faire de l'humour consiste à changer de contexte sans prévenir et au moyen d'une transition sophiste, c'est-à-dire avec un changement de paradigme absurde, censé provoquer le rire. Il existe des déserts de l'humour comme il s'en trouve de médicaux. Généralement, les déserts médicaux sont en ville, à cause de la cherté des emplacements nécessaires aux toubibs, mais où se situent des pépinières d'humoristes. Ailleurs, c'est le contraire. On ne rit pas beaucoup à la campagne, où pourtant l'on en aurait besoin tant on y travaille suffisamment dur pour gagner sa croûte. Ce pourrait être un dérivatif salutaire, pour faire un instant oublier sa triste condition. Alors, pourquoi tant de sérieux ? " De sa plume érudite et corrosive, Jean-Louis Cayla partage ses réflexions, autant avisées que facétieuses, sur divers sujets de société, de politique et de littérature. Ecrit dans un style vif, pétillant et humoristique, cet ouvrage détonnant incite à analyser les questionnements sous un autre angle et à réfléchir, avec le sourire...

The final novel from the author of the Marseilles trilogy. “A bleak, affecting tale about a man on the skids, despairing of love’s ability to heal” (Publishers Weekly). Rico has been banished to society’s margins; he has neither a roof over his head nor a steady income on which to depend. When a friend and fellow vagabond dies of exposure after a night spent in the Paris metro, Rico decides to flee the northern cold for his beloved south, for Marseilles and the warmth of the Mediterranean. Diverted and hindered along the way, he suffers the vagaries of human cruelty and pettiness, and is warmed by occasional, fleeting instances of human tenderness. His return to the Mediterranean is simultaneously a homecoming and a pilgrimage in search of lost love, innocence, and humanity. From the celebrated author of the Marseilles trilogy, this is both an affecting on-the-road novel and a tender exploration of love’s power to both heal and destroy. “Our last true romantic, Jean-Claude Izzo transmits warmth to his readers, as if granting them a mouthful of pure love. A Sun for the Dying is beautiful, like a black sun, tragic and desperate.” —Le Point (France) “Like a chanson by Jacques Brel or Charles Aznavour, Izzo’s harsh, honed prose perfectly embodies that Gallic genius for balancing bleak unsentimentality with intense, frank emotion, making this a likely hit not just with fans of noir (including Izzo’s own Marseilles trilogy) but also with devotees of Charles Bukowski, Hubert Selby Jr., and other great modern tragedians.” —Booklist (starred review)

"Jean Genet, the poet-thief and one of the 20th century's most enduring gay icons was born in Paris in 1910. An illegitimate child accused of stealing from his foster parents Genet at the age of 10 was sent to a reform school and spent most of his youth in the all-male communal life of harshly disciplinarian reformatories, including Mettray. In the 1930s, he was variously a deserter, a vagrant who begged his way across Europe, a prostitute, a thief and one of the dispossessed. Learning that imagination was a tool the authorities couldn't suppress, he emerged in 1942 from a series of prison stays with the first of his extraordinarily subversive novels, Our Lady of the Flowers. Taken up by Cocteau and Sartre, Genet quickly became a legend to the underworld for his novels The Miracle of the Rose, Funeral Rites, Querelle of Brest and The Thief's Journal, all of which fused an inherent romanticism with the celebration of crime and homosexual desires." "An enigmatic, flagrantly controversial figure, Genet lived his life as an itinerant outsider and in the 1970s became a spokesman for the Black Panthers, and finally championed the struggle for a Palestinian homeland, writing his last posthumously published book A Prisoner of Love in defence of their cause. He died in 1986." "Jeremy Reed is an award-winning poet and novelist, and Born To Lose, his stripped down biography of Genet is a book written with profound empathy for his subject. Using aspects of Genet's character as the building blocks to short chapters on his life and work, Reed explores Genet's criminal activities, his addiction to sleeping pills, his relationships with lovers and rent boys, his mercurial friendships with Cocteau, Sartre and Giacometti, his fugitive poetry, the obsession with death that underscores his work and the whole complex psychological makeup of a rebel born to lose, but in the process exploding into inimitably iconoclastic fiction."--BOOK JACKET.
