Le parfum du bonheur est plus fort sous la pluie de Virginie Grimaldi (Analyse de l'oeuvre)

"This master of immersion journalism . . . turns his attention to fiction with this novel about a young man who makes a living writing suicide notes. Yes please." --National Post&ldquo;Lean and mean and with a surprising amount of heart. Make no mistake, Ghosted is for real.&rdquo; &mdash; Ray Robertson, author of David&#160;&ldquo;Ghosted is not for the faint of heart&mdash;in places it&rsquo;s an unflinching exploration of depravity. But it is, above all, an often funny, always optimistic parable of victory over demons of despair, the ghosts of our failed selves.&rdquo; &mdash; Linden MacIntyre, Scotiabank Giller Prize&ndash;winning author of The Bishop&rsquo;s Man&#160;&ldquo;Bukowski craggy and Hornby sweet, Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall&rsquo;s Ghosted is a smart book about smart guys who can&rsquo;t stop from acting dumb. The real pleasure, though, is in the lines: funny sad, funny strange, and funny zing! A hell of a first novel.&rdquo;&mdash; Andrew Pyper, author of The Killing Circle&#160;&ldquo;A harrowing and spellbinding tour through the world of addiction that combines elements of Infinite Jest with Silence of the Lambs.&rdquo; &mdash; Don Gillmor, author of Kanata&ldquo;The unique voice heard throughout Ghosted is so heartbreakingly authentic. . . . A terrifying but moving and life-affirming paean to love, friendship, devotion, determination and all those other characteristics that make human beings such wonderfully fascinating creatures in real life and in richly imagined novels like Ghosted.&rdquo;&mdash; Ottawa Citizen&#160;&ldquo;A savage, heartfelt, exhilarating first novel . . . Ghosted is, in a nutshell, a book about a guy who becomes a ghostwriter of suicide notes. What makes this high-concept premise work is the book&rsquo;s a) heart, and b) voice. Which may, in the final analysis, be one and the same thing.&rdquo; &mdash; TOROmagazine.com&#160;&ldquo;Absolutely exhilarating. . . . Bishop-Stall is a major talent. . . . Bishop-Stall has an unarguably unique voice, urgent and impossible to ignore.&rdquo; &mdash; NOW (Toronto)&#160;&ldquo;Inventive first novel. . . . Ghosted crackles. . . . Impressive, ambitious and exhausting, Ghosted is a novel for those who don&rsquo;t scare easily.&rdquo; &mdash; Kevin Chong, The Globe and Mail

"Kinsella is a modern-day Machiavelli.... He's the ultimate political insider." &mdash;The Toronto Sun"Kinsella writes in a quick-paced, animated, highly accessible style." &mdash;The Globe and Mail&ldquo;Kinsella doesn&rsquo;t pull any punches&hellip;. Fight the Right&hellip;provide[s] readers with a glimpse into the kinds of strategies that have made Conservatives successful and lay out a credible roadmap for progressive forces to regain power.&rdquo; &mdash;iPolitics&#160;&ldquo;First, he deserves credit for writing this book, period&hellip;. We need to air ideas and strategies, to nominate, debate, discard and to choose. And, we&rsquo;ll not get there without more public efforts like Kinsella&rsquo;s&hellip;. Second, he is absolutely on the money regarding the need for the Liberals and the NDP to embrace math and to realize that as long as they divide the progressive vote, the Conservatives will build a dynasty&hellip;. Finally, Kinsella&rsquo;s book is at its best when it does what he does best&mdash;giving specific election advice&hellip;. Progressive politicians should take Kinsella&rsquo;s advice about authenticity, simplicity and speaking to the heart.&rdquo; &mdash;The Huffington Post Canada

"The villain leaps off the page...Pyper does an impressive job building suspense, offering enough narrative twists and turns to keep the reader nicely off balance. &#160;Basing the experience of the novel in Rush's first-person perspective, he is able to capture not only the depths of the haunting and gradually mounting terror, but also the more routine aspects of the character's life... A strong and compelling read."&#8212;The Vancouver Sun"A thumping good read, a real creep-fest."&#8212;Ottawa Citizen"The Killing Circle&#160;is the best of a quartet of outstanding mystery-thriller novels by Andrew Pyper. &#160;A riveting prologue, impossible to put down, quickens the beat and leaves you with a twist in the pit of your gut. &#160;The twist weaves you through the story of fear, panic and resignation and it drives you onward, page by page, to the conclusion... a challenging and compulsive read that clearly demonstrates Andrew Pyper as a unique storyteller on the Canadian scene."&#8212;Hamilton Spectator"Rising star [Pyper] doesn't disappoint in [this] fast-paced, funny thriller. &#160;A terrific ride of a mystery...the story hurtles along. &#160;Pyper is so good at dropping clues. &#160;The thing is, he's also good at introducing so many twists that you'd swear his plot was inspired by a bowl of rotini."&#8212;Edmonton Journal"Extraordinary...Powered by an ingeniously nonlinear narrative and suffused with a tone thick with dread, this is easily Pyper's most ambitious &#8212; and absorbing &#8212; work to date."&#8212;Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)"Very smart, very scary, very good: once I started I couldn't stop. Fans of dark and witty suspense will love The Killing Circle."&#8212;Peter Abrahams, author of Oblivion and End of Story"Few are better at conveying an omnipresent sense of dread and horror bubbling just beneath life's seemingly mundane routines. The Killing Circle will keep you up one night reading and another four checking the locks on the doors."&#8212;Booklist&#8220;If Andrew Pyper scripted our collective nightmares, we&#8217;d all be dreaming and screaming like the narrator of his gorgeously written and thoroughly unnerving suspense thriller&#8230;. This is a terrific yarn.&#8221; &#8212;The New York Times&#8220;This is one great read: darkly lyrical and atmospheric, it's as haunting as it is gripping. Highly recommended.&#8221; &#8212;Harlan Coban&#8220;Frightening and action-packed.&#8221; &#8212;Los Angeles Times&#8220;Spookily terrific...Great suspense and a great story. &#8221; &#8212;Winnipeg Free Press

"&hellip; What had every promise of being a lazy bucolic idyll turns into Dominic&rsquo;s coming-of-age summer.

&#8220;Urquhart combines the poet&#8217;s passionate feeling for language and the material world with nearly a classicist&#8217;s sense of form.&#8230;A lavishness of imagination is brought to bear on small moments, and the writing is of such intensity that a character is often revealed in one expression, a way of life disclosed in a single scene.&#8230;&#8221; &#8211;Ken Adachi, Toronto Star&#8220;A collection of mythic, dreamlike stories.&#8230;Description of her tales belittles their strength and cannot convey the elegance of her prose.&#8221;&#8211;Kingston Whig-Standard&#8220;Urquhart has impressive talent. There&#8217;s nothing simple and obvious here; concentric circles of meaning ripple out from the stories, and the prose shimmers like reflections in a deep pool.&#8230;&#8221;&#8211;Globe and Mail

&#8220;Sakamoto invests in each of her characters so fully they seem to live their own lives, struggle with each other through real conflicts, and dance beautifully around the give and take of love. Sakamoto&#8217;s writing &#8230; occasionally flirts with greatness.&#8221;&#8212;Quill & Quire&#8220;Kerri Sakamoto&#8230; rips the scar tissue away from kamikaze pilots, the young men who sacrificed themselves, much the way suicide bombers are doing in the Middle East today, in exchange for the promise of eternal glory.&#8221;&#8212;Sandra Martin, Elle Canada&#8220;Evocative &#8230; poignant&#8230; In Miyo, Sakamoto has created a marvellously complex, compelling character who is transformed in the course of the novel from a brave but helpless cripple to a woman who runs and dances and loves, not in innocence, but in full, terrifying knowledge.&#8221;&#8212;Merilyn Simonds, The Gazette (Montreal)&#8220;Sakamoto fashions haiku-like prose with a breathtaking economy of words&#8230;.One Hundred Million Hearts paints a portrait of Japanese life &#8212; its ancient ways, its minutely observant citizens &#8212; that is similar to those in David Guterson&#8217;s Snow Falling on Cedars and Arthur Golden&#8217;s Memoirs of a Geisha.&#8221;&#8212;The Vancouver Sun&#8220;A dazzling, multi-layered novel of loss and regret, of love and death, of sacrifice and self-centredness&#8230;.Sakamoto writes with a keen, almost merciless eye for detail, a painter&#8217;s eye for scene and setting.&#8221;&#8212;The Ottawa Citizen&#8220;[One Hundred Million Hearts] question[s] the nature of truth and reality&#8230;. This is a strong, rich and often complicated tale of how so many hearts deal with [&#8216;a callus on the heart&#8217;]. It&#8217;s worth the read.&#8221;&#8212;The Hamilton Spectator&#8220;Spare, elegant prose&#8230;[a] compelling and sensitively drawn story.&#8221;&#8212;Bev Greenberg, Winnipeg Free Press&#8220;[One Hundred Million Hearts allows readers to] see things from a perspective that is both exotic and familiar&#8230;. Sakamoto is a very capable writer, and there is much to admire in this novel. &#8230;[U]tterly convincing. &#8230; Sakamoto opens up a whole new world to us.&#8221;&#8212;Robin McGrath, The Telegram (St.John&#8217;s)Praise for Kerri Sakamoto:&#8220;Kerri Sakamoto represents a major new force in the landscape of Canadian fiction.&#8221;&#8212;Toronto StarPraise for The Electrical Field:&#8220;Kerri Sakamoto is &#8220;a writer with a large talent, one capable of unsettling the reader with her disturbing perceptions of a world in which ugliness and beauty are so intertwined that they cannot be teased apart.&#8221;&#8212;The Gazette (Montreal)&#8220;Beautiful and poignant. . . . Seldom has any writer so acutely shown a divided heart as Sakamoto does in her creation of one of the most eccentric, conflicted and vivid characters in recent Canadian fiction.&#8221;&#8212;The Hamilton Spectator&#8220;Extraordinary. . . . Sure-footed and sophisticated, with a depth of feeling that comes through on every page.&#8221;&#8212;The Globe and Mail&#8220;Not since Ishiguro&#8217;s early novels has the Japanese experience of the New World been captured so subtly, and with such eerie and elliptical intimacy.&#8221;&#8212;Pico Iyer
