Le Meurtre du Commandeur – livre 1 (1)
Divisé en deux volumes Le meurtre du commandeur promet un voyage initiatique étrange, un conte fantasmagorique et artistique où le lecteur plonge peu à peu dans le fantastique.Au Japon, de nos jours. Une maison en pleine montagne, totalement isolée, livrée à la nature, aux bruits de la pluie et des insectes la nuit. Dans cette maison, des livres et des disques. Beaucoup de disques, d'opéra surtout. Et un narrateur. Il est peintre. Ces dernières années, il a fait beaucoup de portraits, il cherche à retrouver l'inspiration. Cette maison n'est pas la sienne, elle appartient à Tomohiko Amada, un artiste de génie qui a vécu à Vienne avant l'Anschluss et qui, de retour au Japon, s'est mis à peindre des tableaux Nihonga. Il a 92 ans, il est sénile, il vit à l'hôpital. Cette maison, le narrateur y a trouvé refuge après un mois d'errance, quand sa femme lui a annoncé qu'elle voulait divorcer. Dans le grenier de la maison, le narrateur trouve un tableau, soigneusement caché, une peinture d'une grande violence, le meurtre d'un vieillard, une scène comme tirée du Don Giovanni de Mozart mais qui serait située au Japon du 7e siècle. C'est Le Meurtre du Commandeur. Un jour, le vieillard du tableau se manifeste. Il est en taille réduite, mais c'est bien lui, le Commandeur. Que veut-il ? Quel est son message ? Le narrateur retrouvera-t-il la voie de la création ?

Holiday
THE BOOKER PRIZE-WINNING NOVEL2019 marks the centenary of Stanley Middleton's birth. Holiday, winner of the 1974 Booker Prize, remains the most celebrated and popular novel from 'the Chekhov of suburbia'.Edwin Fisher has fled to a seaside resort of his childhood past to try to come to terms with the death of his baby son and the collapse of his marriage to Meg. On this strange and lonely holiday, as he seeks to understand what went wrong, Edwin must find somea way to think about what he has been and decide upon where he can go next.______________________________________'At first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognizable... The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' A.S. Byatt‘We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is about. Holiday is vintage Middleton… One has to look at nineteenth-century writing for comparable storytelling.’ Sunday Times

Finkler Question
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer, and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never lost touch with each other, or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik.Dining together one night at Sevcik's apartment—the two Jewish widowers and the unmarried Gentile, Treslove—the men share a sweetly painful evening, reminiscing on a time before they had loved and lost, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. But as Treslove makes his way home, he is attacked and mugged outside a violin dealer's window.
