Olivier is an aristocrat, the traumatized child of survivors of the French Revolution. Parrot the son of an itinerant printer who always wanted to be an artist but has ended up a servant. Born on different sides of history, their lives will be brought together by their travels in America.When Olivier sets sail for America, ostensibly to study its prisons but in reality to save his neck from one more revolution - Parrot is sent with him, as spy, protector, foe and foil. As the narrative shifts between the perspectives of Parrot and Olivier, and their picaresque travels together and apart - in love and politics, prisons and the world of art - Peter Carey explores the adventure of American democracy, in theory and in practice, with dazzling wit and inventiveness.

"Avec Édouard Louis et Didier Eribon, nous vivons une relation qui dure depuis plus de dix ans maintenant. Dès les premiers mois de cette amitié, quelque chose a basculé dans nos vies, une rupture profonde s'est dessinée dans nos existences : nous nous sommes mis à voyager ensemble, à dîner à 3 presque systématiquement, à créer, à réfléchir et à intervenir conjointement dans l'espace public, à fêter ensemble nos anniversaires et les moments traditionnellement associés à la famille, comme Noël, à partager l'intégralité de notre vécu. Plus qu'une amitié, cette relation est devenue pour nous un mode de vie, un cadre d'émotions et d'expériences partagées, avec ses rites, ses lieux, ses temporalités, ses connexions aux autres, au champ culturel - et même au monde social en général. Ce livre voudrait prendre cette relation comme le point de départ d'une réflexion sur les modes de vie, la force de l'amitié notamment dans son opposition au familialisme, et ce que l'on pourrait appeler la politique de l'existence. À l'heure où les existences et les aspirations semblent terriblement normalisées, il pourrait être lu comme une sorte de manuel de vie anti-institutionnelle, qui chercherait à donner un sens concret à l'aspiration utopique à une vie autre."

In 'Nightwork', Anne Allison opens a window onto Japanese corporate culture and gender identities. Allison performed the ritualized tasks of a hostess in one of Tokyo's many "hostess clubs": pouring drinks, lighting cigarettes, and making flattering or titillating conversation with the businessmen who came there on company expense accounts. Her book critically examines how such establishments create bonds among white-collar men and forge a masculine identity that suits the needs of their corporations. Allison describes in detail a typical company outing to such a club--what the men do, how they interact with the hostesses, the role the hostess is expected to play, and the extent to which all of this involves "play" rather than "work." Unlike previous books on Japanese nightlife, Allison's ethnography of one specific hostess club (here referred to as Bijo) views the general phenomenon from the eyes of a woman, hostess, and feminist anthropologist. Observing that clubs like Bijo further a kind of masculinity dependent on the gestures and labors of women, Allison seeks to uncover connections between such behavior and other social, economic, sexual, and gendered relations. She argues that Japanese corporate nightlife enables and institutionalizes a particular form of ritualized male dominance: in paying for this entertainment, Japanese corporations not only give their male workers a self-image as phallic man, but also develop relationships to work that are unconditional and unbreakable. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in gender roles or in contemporary Japanese society.
