Title :
Guys Like MeAuthor: Fabre Dominique, Curtis Howard (TRN) Publisher: New Vessel Pr "The setting may be Paris, but it’s not the Paris of grand avenues and pricey cafés. In fact, Fabre’s hero is a recognizable everyman, from any country."?Library Journal A smile like a soft flash of light . . . travels through this moving novel and tells, in words that are muted and profoundly humane, of life as it is."?Le Monde "Fabre speaks to us of luck and misfortune, of the accidents that make a man or defeat him. He talks about our ordinary disappointments and our small moments of calm. Fabre is the discreet megaphone of the man in the crowd."?Elle "In this novel one finds the intimate geography of an author who lays bare the essence of Paris and its outskirts."?La Quinzaine littéraire Dominique Fabre, born in Paris and a lifelong resident of the city, exposes the shadowy, anonymous lives of many who inhabit the French capital. In this quiet, subdued tale, a middle-aged office worker, divorced and alienated from his only son, meets up with two childhood friends who are similarly adrift, without passions or prospects. He's looking for a second act to his mournful life, seeking the harbor of love and a true connection with his son. Set in palpably real Paris streets that feel miles away from the City of Light, Guys Like Me is a stirring novel of regret and absence, yet not without a glimmer of hope. Dominique Fabre, born in 1960, writes about people living on society's margins. He is a lifelong resident of Paris, France. His previous novel, The Waitress Was New, was also translated into English. € 14,30

Title :
La cameriera era nuovaAuthor: Fabre Dominique Publisher: Calabuig Asnières, alla periferia di Parigi. Pierre, cameriere di un bar accanto alla stazione, ama lo spettacolo della vita che si srotola davanti ai suoi occhi: i primi clienti arrivano la mattina presto, insonnoliti; una bella donna si ripara dalla pioggia sotto un ombrello rosso; uno studente legge "Se questo è un uomo" di Primo Levi. La cameriera si ammala, e una cameriera nuova arriva a sostituirla, proprio quando il matrimonio dei titolari del bar sembra franare. Mentre i rapporti si scompigliano e si riannodano, scorrono le ore sotto il cielo di Parigi, grigio e terso. Pierre partecipa a distanza delle vite degli altri, riflette sulla propria, accoglie la malinconia luminosa dell'autunno, e la lenta dolcezza della fine che si avvicina. € 12,00
Scontato: € 5,40
