En marge de la création littéraire, dans les coulisses de l’écriture, ou en écho avec elle, nombre d’écrivains ont nourri des passions, des marottes, voire de drôles de manies. S’y attacher, c’est explorer la part d’intime et les pans d’existence sinon méconnus, du moins souvent cités et regardés « de loin ».Thierry Le Rolland se penche avec tendresse sur ces singulières aventures humaines intensément vécues, et nous en révèle les bizarreries, les plaisirs et les audaces, les promesses tenues ou non, et l’étonnante part de mystère qui préside souvent à l’engagement d’une vie. Les sulfures de Colette – les soldats de plomb de Larbaud – les appareils photo de Zola – le boomerang de Gracq – les cartes postales d’Éluard – le vélo de Jarry – les autographes et manuscrits de Zweig – les papillons de Nabokov – la roulotte automobile de Roussel – les déguisements de Loti – les dernières cigarettes de Svevo – les pseudonymes de Stendhal – les cannes à pêche d’Hemingway

Newly reissued as a Picador Modern Classic, Marilynne Robinson's brilliant, PEN/Hemingway Award-winning first novel Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her younger sister, Lucille, who grow up haphazardly, first under the care of their competent grandmother, then of two comically bumbling great-aunts, and finally of Sylvie, the eccentric and remote sister of their dead mother. The family house is in the small town of Fingerbone on a glacial lake in the Far West, the same lake where their grandfather died in a spectacular train wreck and their mother drove off a cliff to her death. It is a town "chastened by an outsized landscape and extravagant weather, and chastened again by an awareness that the whole of human history had occurred elsewhere." Ruth and Lucille's struggle toward adulthood beautifully illuminates the price of loss and survival, and the dangerous and deep undertow of transience. For more than twenty years, Picador has been producing beautifully packaged literary fiction and nonfiction books from Manhattan's Flatiron Building. Our Twentieth Anniversary Modern Classics line pairs iconic books with a design that's both small enough to fi t in your pocket and unique enough to stand out on your bookshelf.
