![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie Publisher: Prehistorica Editore Visto da fuori, il mondo di Lucie è piuttosto ordinario e rassicurante; quello di una moglie e di una mamma, in un tranquillo appartamento di un'agiata cittadina di provincia. Le donne della sua famiglia, però, possiedono tutte un dono che si tramandano di madre in figlia. Le sue due prodigiose ragazze non fanno certo eccezione. Lucie cammina così sul filo di un rasoio: cerca da un lato di coltivare i poteri occulti delle figlie, che vede crescere e sfuggire via, e tenta dall'altro di proteggere questo segreto, da una società pronta a distruggere ciò che esula dalla 'normalità'. Il suo dono si trasformerà presto in una maledizione. Una delle scrittrici protagoniste della contemporaneità francese, 'le cui sottili incongruenze, gli effetti di straniamento, l'onnipresenza di un latente malessere persecutorio denunciano, al di là di un fantastico di vaga ascendenza kafkiana, la difficoltà d'integrazione e d'appartenenza dell'individuo moderno' - per dirlo con Treccani. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie, Stump Jordan (TRN) Publisher: Alfred a Knopf Inc From the acclaimed author of Three Strong Women: a harrowing and subtly crafted novel of a woman captive to a secret shame. The first Tuesday of every month, Clarisse Rivière leaves her husband and young daughter to take the train to Bordeaux and visit her mother, Ladivine. Clarisse has concealed nearly every aspect of her adult life from this woman whom she dreads and despises but also pities, and who knows her as Malinka. But after twenty-five years, the idyllic life she has built from scratch cannot survive the walls she's put up to protect it. Her anguish leaves her cold and guarded, her loved ones forever trapped outside, looking in, and then everything comes crashing down. When she is brutally murdered, her daughter will try to work out what happened, and through a mystical logic NDiaye makes utterly persuasive, Clarisse's spirit will be perceived to have lodged itself in a brown dog that watches over her daughter and mother. Translated from the French by Jordan Stump. € 24,10

![]() ![]() Author: NDiaye Marie Publisher: Giunti Editore Il primo martedì di ogni mese, seguendo un rituale immutabile, Clarisse Rivière lascia il marito e la figlia per prendere in gran segreto un treno per Bordeaux. Lì, in un quartiere popolare vicino al porto, vive sua madre, Ladivine. I suoi familiari, però, non sanno niente di lei e sono convinti che Clarisse sia orfana. Allo stesso modo Ladivine ignora la loro esistenza: Clarisse infatti ha sempre taciuto ogni dettaglio della propria vita alla madre, una donna che teme, disprezza e compatisce al tempo stesso. Abbandonata molti anni prima dal padre di Clarisse, Ladivine lavora come domestica, ha solo sua figlia al mondo e la ama di un amore immenso e opprimente. Bianca come suo padre, Clarisse, che in realtà si chiama Malinka, rifiuta il proprio nome almeno quanto rinnega le sue origini e la pelle nera della madre. Adesso, dopo anni di inganni, la tranquilla esistenza borghese costruita da Clarisse rischia di essere soffocata dalle stesse mura che ha eretto per proteggersi. Sarà sua figlia, che porta il nome della nonna, a intraprendere un viaggio a ritroso verso la misteriosa terra da cui proviene Ladivine. € 18,00

![]() ![]() Author: NDiaye Marie Publisher: Cue Press Tre donne si incontrano vicino a una casa isolata tra i campi di granturco. È il giorno della presa della Bastiglia e il caldo è opprimente, ma non c'è nessuno a godersi i fuochi d'artificio. Nuove storie vengono alla luce e si sovrappongono: la storia di un figlio e di suo padre, la storia di una madre e delle future nuore. Storie di malignità e ritorni. In quest'opera apparentemente semplice, le relazioni assumono nitidezza e brutalità. Un tour de force di una degli autori francesi più celebrati. € 12,99

![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie, Stump Jordan (TRN) Publisher: Two Lines Pr It seems there is no genre of writing Marie NDiaye will not make her own. Asked to write a memoir, she turned in this paranoid fantasia of rising floodwaters, walking corpses, eerie depictions of her very own parents, and the incessant reappearance of women in green. Just who are these green women? They are powerful (one was NDiaye’s disciplinarian grade-school teacher). They are mysterious (one haunts a house like a ghost and may be visible only to the author). They are seductive (one stole a friend’s husband). And they are unbearably personal (one is NDiaye’s own mother). They are all, in their way, aspects of their creator, at once frightening, menacing, and revealing of everything submerged within the consciousness of this singular literary talent. A courageous, strikingly honest, and unabashedly innovative self-portrait, NDiaye’s kaleidoscopic look at the women in green is a revelation to us all ? about how we form our identities, how we discover those things we repress, and how our obsessions become us. € 9,10

![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie, Stump Jordan (TRN) Publisher: Two Lines Pr A moody and beautiful reflection on relationships, and how our idea of the world too often fails to match reality, All My Friends delivers five stories that probe the boundaries between individuals to mediate on how well we really know anybody, including ourselves. Written in hypnotic prose with characters both fully fleshed and unfathomable, All My Friends opens with the fraught love story of a man who has fallen for his housekeeper, his student of many years ago. Losing his grip as he feels his own family turning against him, he plots romance between the housekeeper and an old friend, whom he thinks is perfect for her. Later NDiaye gives us the harsh tale of a young boy longing to escape his life of poverty by becoming a sex slave?just like the beautiful young man that lived next door. And when a woman takes her mentally challenged son on a bus ride to the city, they both know that she’ll return, but he won’t. Chilling, provocative, and touching, this is an unflinching look at the personal horrors we fight every day to suppress?but in All My Friends they’re allowed to roam free. € 13,40

![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie, Fletcher John (TRN) Publisher: Random House Inc In this new novel, the first by a black woman ever to win the coveted Prix Goncourt, Marie NDiaye creates a luminous narrative triptych as harrowing as it is beautiful. This is the story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged, tyrannical father to save another victim of his paternity; Fanta, who leaves a modest but contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her white boyfriend back to France, where his delusional depression and sense of failure poison everything; and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband’s family with nothing but the name of a distant cousin (the aforementioned Fanta) who lives in France, a place Khady can scarcely conceive of but toward which she must now take desperate flight. With lyrical intensity, Marie NDiaye masterfully evokes the relentless denial of dignity, to say nothing of happiness, in these lives caught between Africa and Europe. We see with stunning emotional exactitude how ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength, even as their humanity is chipped away. Three Strong Women admits us to an immigrant experience rarely if ever examined in fiction, but even more into the depths of the suffering heart. € 20,20

![]() ![]() Author: Ndiaye Marie, Black Tamsin Publisher: Univ of Nebraska Pr When pregnant Rosie Carpe, her fatherless five-year-old son in tow, arrives in Guadeloupe looking for her elusive brother, Lazare, the world already seems a plenty confusing place. Could the man who comes to meet her, an elegant black man calling himself Lagrand, actually be her disheveled white brother? Are her parents, who abandoned her in Paris, rediscovering themselves in an outrageous second youth of outlandish affairs, or have they simply lost their minds? And does Rosie have a hope of slipping the sticky grasp of her former employer and seducer, who moonlights as a video pornographer? If it seems unlikely that the feckless Lazare, missing for five years as he followed his own twisted path, might help, or that carnivalesque Guadeloupe, where murder and mayhem are the natural outcomes of “business ventures,” might be the place for Rosie to find peace, then Marie NDiaye may have a few surprises in store for her reader. Amid the blurring boundaries and shifting values, the indistinct realities and confusing certainties of Rosie Carpe, a love story unfolds, and all that is ambiguous and tenuous–in short, all of Rosie's world–is underpinned with a measure of tenderness. € 18,10
