"Il est une chose admirable qui surpasse toujours la connaissance, l'intelligence, et même le génie, c'est l'incompréhension."

Parmi eux : Blake, père de famille respectable et néanmoins tueur à gages ; Slimboy, pop star nigériane, las de vivre dans le mensonge ; Joanna, redoutable avocate rattrapée par ses failles ; ou encore Victor Miesel, écrivain confidentiel soudain devenu culte.

"Dans "L'Amant", Marguerite Duras reprend sur le ton de la confidence les images et les thèmes qui hantent toute son œuvre. Ses lecteurs vont pouvoir ensuite descendre ce grand fleuve aux lenteurs asiatiques et suivre la romancière dans tous les méandres du delta, dans la moiteur des rizières, dans les secrets ombreux où elle a développé l'incantation répétitive et obsédante de ses livres, de ses films, de son théâtre."

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car - strange for a frigid night.

Les choses de la vie racontées par la fiction
Un événement surgit et nous rappelle notre finitude et fragilité: le décès d’une personne qui nous est chère. Ce changement brutal n’est qu’un exemple des formes de rupture que l’on peut expérimenter. En effet, la séparation, le divorce, la maladie, une grande décision, chacun de ces moments marque un avant et un après. A l’instar de ce qui passe dans beaucoup de couples, Nathalie, la protagoniste du roman, avait édifié son existence en fonction de celle de son compagnon. Difficile, donc, après la disparition de ce dernier, de savoir qui elle est vraiment, vers quel futur elle veut s’engager et les pensées que les autres ont à son égard. Les marques d’affection de son entourage sont-elles vraies, simulées, le fruit d’une pitié dont elle ne veut pas? David Foenkinos nous montre combien il est ardu de trouver un équilibre existentiel face aux aléas, aux sentiments et aux émotions des personnes qui peuplent notre vie quotidienne, surtout quand on recherche la stabilité. Mais l’auteur se conduit en véritable chef d’orchestre. Ses descriptions axiomatiques pleines de sagesse aident à faire de l’ordre dans cette cacophonie de la psychologie complexe où les actions conscientes rivalisent avec l’arbitraire de l’inconscient.

J'ai aimé cet audiolivre
Dans un monde tellement bouleversé, on a besoin de lectures comme La délicatesse. C'est comme un oasis au milieu du désert.
