Shejna rodilas ot surrogatnoj materi. Dlja Dzhoelja i Lili-Rouz, tipichnoj amerikanskoj semi, eto byl edinstvennyj sposob zavesti zhelannogo rebenka. I zhit by ej schastlivo s ljubjaschimi roditeljami, vot tolko u devochki, kak i u ee biologicheskoj materi, chernaja kozha. Vzrosleja, Shejna nachinaet zadumyvatsja o svoem proiskhozhdenii, o svoikh kornjakh - i o tom, kakovo byt tsvetnym v Amerike. Ej predstoit dolgij i ternistyj put k samopoznaniju i obreteniju svoej identichnosti. Etot roman nastolko zhe mnogoplanovyj i mnogoobraznyj, naskolko silnyj i beskompromissnyj; v nem ostaetsja malo mesta dlja ljubvi, nezhnosti i sostradanija. V etom krovavom ognennom mire, gde izbezhat sobstvennogo proshlogo, kazhetsja, nevozmozhno, esche ne nastal chas dlja proschenija."

An artist-designer who defies classification, Pucci de Rossi (1947-2013) was a pillar of the European art scene in the 1980s. Originally from Verona, and trained by the American sculptor H. B. Walker, Pucci de Rossi created his first pieces by assembling wooden furniture to make some rather odd-looking and unstable forms, somewhere between thrones and time machines. "My profession was a game to me," he once remarked. "I was cutting, I was making, I was inventing." His first designs, steeped in poetry and humour, recalled the minimalism of Arte Povera as much as Studio Memphis' neobaroque. Jewellery, furniture, sculpture, painting: Pucci's universe knew no limits except those of his own imagination. In his hands, even the most modest materials transcended themselves to become works of great visual and functional power. This was soon recognised; after 1985 he regularly exhibited in Paris, and in New York at the gallery Neotu, founded by Pierre Staudenmeyer. Some of his most notable accomplishments involve designing the layout for the Barbara Bui boutique in Paris, and the palace of the auctioneer Jean-Claude Binoche in Venice. In the 1990s his work was on display at the Downtown Gallery, and in 1994-1995 he collaborated with the CIRVA in Marseille. Shortly prior to his death, Jacques-Antoine Granjon, one of his most faithful collectors, commissioned a sketch for the frontage of the VentePrivee.com building in La Plaine-Saint-Denis. Baptized 'Verona', the metallic skin covering the facade, which was inspired by that drawing, pays tribute to him today. Pucci de Rossi created more than 900 pieces during his lifetime; this book gives him the commemoration he deserves.

On a snowy New England evening in a small college town, Sean Farrell-a hard-drinking, libidinous poet and professor-hosts a Thanksgiving dinner. The eleven guests include two fellow professors (one a novelist, the other also a poet), two of Sean's former lovers, his lawyer, his housepainter, and his baker. What none of them knows is that Sean is dying. This dinner could be his grand finale. As food and drink flow, secrets are exposed, tragedies bared, and truths uncovered. "Never could we have dreamed how rough adult life would be," one character thinks. Yet there is wit and laughter too, in a novel about mortality that is also a celebration of life. With each new book, it becomes increasingly clear that Nancy Huston is a writer of exceptional gifts. Sweet Agony is another impressive performance from a writer whose eye is as sharp as her insight into the human condition is wise.

Lin has a husband, two daughters, and close friends. But dance is her passion. Inescapably, it imposes itself upon her, until the inevitable moment when she must choose between her family life and the all-consuming world of dance to which she aches to return. Slow Emergencies conveys an irresistible impulse to create, and illustrates the emotional turmoil that ensues for Lin and her family. Nancy Huston, award-winning author of The Mark of the Angel, writes brilliantly here about the passage of time, the body's vulnerability, and the solitude of creative endeavor. What results is a deeply felt novel that offers a disquieting but profoundly moving meditation on just what it means to be an artist.
