Reading tip

José-Flore Tappy, Pierre à feu: The violence and clarity struck by «Pierre à feu» on the first reading lent the name to this collection published in 1995. The short and sober poems are divided into two chapters, «Le Chemin» and «Herbe et fumée,» which contrast and complete each other. The poems are also often arranged around a metaphor that acts as an opposing force to the density of the verse, blowing the poems apart. In the poems, Tappy places her own life in the pull of this relation between centrifugal and centripetal movements: « Fidèle et fugitive telle je suis je passe quenouille tournée par les vents dans les fils innombrables du temps » (Loyal and fugitive as I am I move, a spindle turned by the wind in the innumerable threads of time) In an elementary, inhuman world, respite from the violence of which is only to be found in words, someone is walking, fighting and loving, and trying to create enough light not to get lost forever, to resist the impetuous torrent of it all. Although Tappy’s poetry is unsettling, itinerant and full of pain, she infuses her words with a salutary energy, a desire for love and beauty that does not seek to dodge the struggle and peculiarity of the human condition. Reading «Pierre à feu» has an invigorating effect on the consciousness and sharpens the senses. (Françoise Delorme, transl. by Andrea Mason Willfratt)

Andrea Gianinazzi, L'uomo che vive sui treni: Here are eight stories – told as if eight fragments of a single story: the story of a vagrant, who lives on trains and whose own path crosses the paths of many other people. Only the first and the last story are about him: the tale of a deportation train that finishes up on a disused railway line because the war has ended; and the one about his own tragic end on a train he boards quite by chance and on which he becomes aware of the sense of his own existence.

Pierre Lepori, SessualitÃ: Pierre Lepori's novel has an unusual publishing history. «Sessualità» was launched simultaneously in three languages: Italian, French and German. The author did his own translation from Italian to French, and the German translator based her version on the two 'originals'. In addition, there is a trilingual version that switches between all three languages, depending on which character is speaking.
