INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A  NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK “Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the  Kitchen Confidential  of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” — Jennifer Senior, The New York Times   Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.” With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California mass-market wine factories, and even a neuroscientist’s fMRI machine as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what’s the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine—and, perhaps, the way you live—forever. “Think:  Eat, Pray, Love  meets  Somm .” —theSkimm “As informative as it is, well, intoxicating.” — Fortune

"Dear Ailsa, Sometimes I wonder whether the friendship that has caught us both-a most unlikely friendship I must confess-might find an echo in a far off Irish village somewhere in the wild, windy hills of old Donegal. Or am I allowing that uncontrollable imagination of mine too much slack? This is the story of an unlikely friendship...When priest and Sydneysider Tony Doherty emailed Melbourne-based writer and performer Ailsa Piper to say how much he had enjoyed her latest book, he was met with a swift reply from a similarly enquiring mind. Soon emails were flying back and forth and back again. They exchanged stories of their experiences as sweaty pilgrims and dissected dinner party menus. They shared their delight in Mary Oliver's poetry and wrestled with what it means to love and to grieve. This energetic exchange of words, questions and ideas grew into an unexpected but treasured friendship...Collected here is that correspondence, brimming with empathy, humour and a fierce curiosity about each other and the worlds, shoes and histories that they inhabit. Described by one reader as "a demonstration of how to have a conversation and a friendship", The Attachment is an intriguing, entertaining and moving celebration of family, faith, connection-even the correct time of day to enjoy rhubarb...Dear Tony, Funny how our ears tune in to things. How our priorities shift based on who and what we know. How we come to care about such abstract or remote things through the experience of another. Lovely, somehow, but so serendipitous. All the other things we might care about. All that we might have missed had we not stopped to care for this person. I'm glad we stopped for each other."

Entre la mort de Molière et l'avènement de Marivaux, le théâtre comique connaît de profondes modifications, tant d'un point de vue socio-économique qu'esthétique. En prenant l'exemple d'Edme Boursault (1638-1701), cet ouvrage entend mettre en lumière une double trajectoire, celle d'un genre – la comédie – et celle d'un auteur. Il s'agit donc d'une part d'observer les stratégies de carrière mises en œuvre par les dramaturges de la seconde moitié du XVIIe siècle, mais aussi, d'autre part, de comprendre la manière dont se renouvelle l'écriture dramaturgique. Les comédies de Boursault, écrites entre 1661 et 1701, attestent des hésitations et des mutations esthétiques qui caractérisent le passage de la dramaturgie classique à celle de la fin de règne. Depuis ses premières comédies et farces jusqu'à ses comédies moralisantes, Boursault a su s'adapter aux changements que connaissent la société française et le théâtre, mettant en œuvre un arsenal de stratégies, tant sociales que littéraires. Par une approche qui combine sociologie de la littérature, poétique des genres et théorie de la réception, cet ouvrage étudie les réseaux de sociabilité de Boursault (salons précieux, cercles littéraires, mécénat) et analyse son théâtre comique, tout en tenant compte des aspects liés aux conditions de représentation et à la réception du public.
