et les rivages du temps

Lila

A book like this is long overdue. Rosetta Tharpe was a major star and a huge influence on the musicians of her day. Listen to her recordings and you can hear all the building blocks of rock and roll. &#8212;Joan Osborne, singer-songwriter "Rosetta was one of the most beloved and influential artists ever in gospel music . . . and she blazed a trail for the rest of us women guitarists with her indomitable spirit and accomplished, engaging style. She has long been deserving of wider recognition and a place of honor in the field of music history." &#8212;Bonnie Raitt "Rosetta Tharpe's life is a classic American tall tale, except that it happened, and, in these pages, you are there." &#8212;Greil Marcus, cultural critic "Rosetta Tharpe was one of my first influences, one of the first people I heard sing. I'm glad Gayle Wald has done a book on her because people need to know." &#8212;Isaac Hayes "Absorbing . . . Very much a woman's story, refreshingly free of Svengalis and impresarios."&#8212;Laura Sinagra, New York Times"Wald makes a good case that Tharpe's R&B spirituals played a key role in inventing rock."&#8212;Entertainment Weekly"Rosetta Tharpe's life is a classic American tall tale, except that it happened, and, in these pages, you are there."&#8212;Greil Marcus, cultural critic and author of Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock'n'Roll Music"Wald's illuminating biography brings the deliciously flamboyant singer to life as gospel's first superstar and a seminal figure . . . Tharpe was a larger-than-life figure in American pop music. May Wald's shimmering book revive her for new listeners." &#8212;Booklist"With the publication of this entertaining and enlightening biography, Tharpe-who reputedly played her electric guitar 'like a man,' withstood failed marriages, racial and sexual discrimination plus economic hardships-should receive the recognition she deserves."&#8212;Publishers Weekly"Mixing tireless reporting with nuanced and cultural insights, Wald's Shout, Sister, Shout! is about as good as musical reparations get." &#8212;Tony Green, Vibe

"[Bill Johnston's] translation is never static; it captures or even reveals the suspense and the passion present in the original work . . .&#160;Defying the stereotype of a strictly Proven&ccedil;al, folkloric, local writer, Giono reveals his entire cultural universe with great abandon and relish." -- Alice-Catherine Carls, World Literature Today"Ennemonde is a novel of nature, a novel that might tells us something about the gap between humanity and its environs . . .&#160;The sky is black, the trees &ndash; beeches, chestnuts, sessile oaks &ndash; are infinite, the rocks reverberate, and the peasants are murderous . . .&#160;We are in the realm of a naturalized Nietzsche&#160;here: what is valuable is what sustains and enhances life . . .&#160;Giono troubles us, asks us to pay attention, and finally . . . Giono shows us what one can see if one looks."--Duncan Stuart, Exit Only"Giono's writing possesses a vigor, a surprising texture, a contagious joy, a sureness of touch and design, an arresting originality, and that sort of unfeigned strangeness that always goes along with sincerity when it escapes from the ruts of convention." --Andre&#769; Gide, unpublished letter"For Giono, literature and reality overlap the way that waves sweep over the shore, one ceaselessly refreshing the other and, in certain wondrous moments, giving it a glassy clearness." --Ryu Spaeth, The New Republic "Giono's voice is the voice of the realist; his accents are the accents of simplicity, power and a passionate feeling for a land and a people that he must love as well as understand." --The New York Times "Giono's prose is a singularly fine blend of realism and poetic sensibility. Essentially a poet, he has an acute faculty of penetration, a lucidity of spiritual vision, and a tender sympathy." --The Washington Post"Giono offers a steady flow of rich imagery and biographical tidbits about the denizens of a mountainous region of southwestern France in this sensual pastoral . . .&#160;The characters often feel like a manifestation of the rugged land they inhabit: the farm girl Ennemonde, for instance, born near the turn of the 20th century, possesses &ldquo;a fruitlike beauty.&rdquo;. . . Giono achieves an engaging and worldly narration, which grounds the reader in this juicy web of anecdotes." --Publishers Weekly  "This sharp little book marks a return to [Giono's] naturalistic themes, but with a bitter bite . . . Ennemonde hurtles onward, clause piled on descriptive clause, as if in every great arabesque of a sentence Giono were trying to encompass the whole of Provence. But he isn&rsquo;t aiming for grace; no, it&rsquo;s all spiteful glee in these lines . . . a riotous book." &ndash;- Robert Rubsam, The Baffler"Giono creates an atmosphere that is both contemporaneous and timeless...the epic instinct is active." --Ray C. B. Brown "I'm reading Bill Johnston's translation of Jean Giono's Ennemonde, and have come to love the way Giono nestles a kernel of a story inside descriptions of the natural world and its inhabitants, human and otherwise. These plots are organic; they grow out of the soil." --Stephen Sparks of Point Reyes Books via Twitter"The land, rough and wet and unparsable, is what dominates [Giono's] novels, dictating the movement of the plot and the development of the characters. Sitting somewhere between the psychologism of Proust or Gide and the realism of Zola, Giono&rsquo;s dramas unfold as if the inanimate world were itself the primordial life-breath of the animate one . . . &#160;a superb English translation by Bill Johnston . . . Ennemonde is a novel about peasantry and the old Gionian world, but it is also one about art and writing themselves&mdash;about the acts of observing, of developing a scale."-- Ben Libman, The Review of Uncontemporary Fiction
