Memoriam: À La Mémoire De La Liberté (Essais et fiction)
by Michel PicardPhilippe, jeune neurologue prodige, consacre sa carrière à la maladie d’Alzheimer. Sa seule motivation : prouver l’innocence de son père, atteint d’Alzheimer, d’allégations de complot terroriste, qui a couté la vie à sa mère. Son acharnement l’amène à transgresser les limites éthiques et morales au grand désespoir de sa sœur aînée, Camille, qui cache aussi un grand secret. Agente d’artiste, Camille dirige présentement la tournée d’un illusionniste, le Grand Chaïm. Étonnamment, il connaît aussi très bien les travaux de Philippe. Les avancées lentes et difficiles du jeune chercheur prennent une tournure inédite à la rencontre de William, un être mystérieux, directeur d’une entreprise privée qui se spécialise sur les neurosciences. Encouragé par l’apport financier et matériel de la société de William, Philippe fait finalement les percées qu’il espérait et réussit à pénétrer dans la mémoire de son père. Alors que les recherches vont bon train, William installe un nouveau patient – nom de code Charlie – dans les locaux de Philippe sans donner trop d’instructions précises. Malgré des efforts soutenus, Philippe se tourne vers Charlie pour développer encore plus à fond ses techniques médicales de recherche sur la mémoire et protéger la vie de son père déjà fragile. La vérité que Philippe cherche tant le frappe comme un mur de brique. Du peu d’éthique et de morale qui lui restait, voilà que ses valeurs profondes sont remises en question. Réussira-t-il pour autant à trouver le véritable terroriste dont l’identité se cache quelque part dans les ténèbres cérébrales de ses deux patients?

Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters
by Grace KingNot as well-known as some of her contemporaries—Mark Twain, George W. Cable, and Joel Chandler Harris, to name a few—author and historian Grace King (1851- 1932) was nonetheless highly praised in her own right. She garnered attention from such eminent critics as William Dean Howells, and her work frequently appeared in Harper's and Century Magazine. She published thirteen volumes of fiction, history, biography, and memoir. What contributed to King's critical acclaim, and her continued importance across time, was the panoramic view of social and historical New Orleans that she captured in her writing. She was, scholar Robert Bush argues, one of the most talented and perceptive citizens of New Orleans during the post- Civil War period. In pursuing an intellectual career, King broke with many Old South traditions. She embraced Anglo-Saxon and Creole French cultures. Much of her work is especially interesting for the way in which her view of the southern temper and cultural contribution supplemented that of other writers of the period. In his introduction, Bush analyzes the breadth of King's work, leading the reader on a biographical journey that clearly establishes King as an important symbol of a bygone era. He then offers selections that cover the full range of her writing: chapters from her autobiography, Memories of a Southern Woman of Letters; her major short fiction, including five uncollected stories and the best of her Balcony Stories; a large portion of The Pleasant Ways of St. Medard, a novel about life during Reconstruction; sections from her historical writings, including New Orleans: The Place and the People; a series of biographical sketches of Mark Twain and others; excerpts from her notebooks; and a group of more than twenty letters. Grace King of New Orleans offers readers a nuanced understanding of King's impressions of the people and places of New Orleans as well as southern life and culture. – Print ed.
