Des news de Graham Joyce
Un nouveau roman de Graham Joyce va bientôt sortir en anglais. Il s'agit de How to Make Friends with Demons. Il sera dispo en novembre en anglais.
Le résumé :
"William Heaney is a man well acquainted with demons. Not his broken family - his wife has left him for a celebrity chef, his snobbish teenaged son despises him, and his daughter's new boyfriend resembles Nosferatu - nor his drinking problem, nor his unfulfilling government job, but real demons.
For demons are real, and William has identified one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven smoky figures, dwelling on the shadowy fringes of human life, influencing our decisions with their sweet and poisoned voices.
After a series of seemingly unconnected personal encounters, with a beautiful and captivating woman met in the company of an infuriating poet, a troubled and damaged veteran of Desert Storm with demons of his own, and an old school acquaintance with whom he shared a mystical occult ritual, William Heaney's life is thrown into a direction he does not fully comprehend. Past and present collide. Long-dormant choices and forgotten deceptions surface. Secrets threaten to become exposed. To weather the changes, William Heaney must learn one thing: how to make friends with demons. "

Amusant.Mélanie a écrit :En Angleterre, il sort sous le titre Memoirs of a master forger et sous le nom de William Heaney (le nom du personnage principal). Je n'ai pas bien compris le pourquoi du comment d'ailleurs. Et il est en cours de traduction, parution chez Bragelonne l'an prochain.
Je suis allé faire un tour sur amazon.co.uk et j'ai constaté que les dernières productions de Graham Joyce étaient surtout classées "littérature jeunesse".
Se livrerait-il au prosélytisme ?

Il en a écrit tant que ça ? Je croyais qu'il n'y en avait que deux (TWOC et un autre dont le titre m'échappe) ?JDB a écrit :Je suis allé faire un tour sur amazon.co.uk et j'ai constaté que les dernières productions de Graham Joyce étaient surtout classées "littérature jeunesse".

Je crois qu'il a aussi publié quelques nouvelles dans l'intervalle, dont une ("An Ordinary Soldier of the Queen") est intégrée à ce roman.
