Bunny
The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel about a lonely graduate student drawn into a clique of rich girls.'We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?'Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort – a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other 'Bunny', and are often found entangled in a group hug so tight they become one.But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies' fabled 'Smut Salon', and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door – ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the sinister yet saccharine world of the Bunnies, the edges of reality begin to blur, and her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies are brought into deadly collision.A spellbinding, down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, creativity and agency, and friendship and desire, Bunny is the dazzlingly original second book from the author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl.
The Conservationist
Mehring is rich. He has all the privileges and possessions that South Africa has to offer, but his possessions refuse to remain objects. His wife, son and mistress leave him: his foreman and workers become increasingly indifferent to his stewardship: even the land rises up, as drought, then flood, destroy his farm. As the upheaval in Mehring's world increasingly resembles that in the country as a whole, it becomes clear that only a seismic shift in ideas and concrete action can avert annihilation.

L’incolore Tsukuru Tazaki et ses années de pèlerinage
" Depuis le mois de juillet de sa deuxième année d'université jusqu'au mois de janvier de l'année suivante, Tsukuru Tazaki vécut en pensant presque exclusivement à la mort. "À Nagoya, ils étaient cinq amis, inséparables. Puis Tsukuru a gagné Tokyo. Un jour, ils lui ont signifié qu'ils ne voulaient plus jamais le voir. Sans raison. Pendant seize ans, celui qui est devenu architecte a vécu séparé du monde. Avant de rencontrer Sara. Pour vivre cet amour, Tsukuru va entamer son pèlerinage, et confronter le passé pour comprendre ce qui a brisé le cercle.Renouant avec le réalisme onirique de ses débuts, le maître conteur de la trilogie 1Q84 tisse une fable initiatique d'une envoûtante étrangeté, à la mélancolie apaisée." Entrer dans ce livre, c'est comme faire un rêve dont on sait d'avance qu'on se réveillera plus heureux. " ElleTraduit du japonais par Hélène Morita

Decameron
The Decameron (subtitle: Prencipe Galeotto) is a collection of 100 novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, probably begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It is a medieval allegorical work best known for its bawdy tales of love, appearing in all its possibilities from the erotic to the tragic. Some believe many parts of the tales are indebted to the influence of The Book of Good Love. Many notable writers such as Chaucer are said to have drawn inspiration from The Decameron
