From one of the most original French writers of our day comes a mysterious, prismatic, and at times profoundly sad reflection on humanity in its darker moments-one of which may very well be our own. In a collection of fictions that blur distinctions between dreaming and waking reality, Lutz Bassmann sets off a series of echoes-the "entrevoutes" that conduct us from one world to another in a journey as viscerally powerful as it is intellectually heady. While humanity seems to be fading around them, the members of a shadowy organization are doing their inad

"Imagine being born into a world where everything about you--the shape of your nose, the look of your hair, the place of your birth--designates you as an undesirable, an inferior, a menace, no better than a cockroach, something to be driven away and ultimately exterminated. Imagine being thousands of miles away while your family and friends are brutally and methodically slaughtered. Imagine being entrusted by your parents with the mission of leaving everything you know and finding some way to survive, in the name of your family and your people. Scholastique Mukasonga's Cockroaches is the story of growing up a Tutsi in Hutu-dominated Rwanda--the story of a happy child, a loving family, all wiped out in the genocide of 1994. A vivid, bittersweet depiction of family life and bond in a time of immense hardship, it is also a story of incredible endurance, and the duty to remember that loss and those lost while somehow carrying on. Sweet, funny, wrenching, and deeply moving, Cockroaches is a window onto an unforgettable world of love, grief, and horror"

Regardez ces passants qui se promènent au Havre, sur le boulevard Maritime, au début du siècle dernier. Observez ces deux femmes qui sont en sortie, un de ces dimanches de la vie, une ombrelle à la main, venant de Sainte-Adresse. Leur mystère est sans origine et sans fin. Et pourtant l'écriture ne va cesser de faire ce retour en amont vert sa propre origine. Raymond Queneau a quitté Le Havre à dix-sept ans mais son œuvre y retourne et ne cesse d'interroger ce point inouï où l'origine à la fois se révèle et se dérobe. Et voici que nous aussi, dans cet hommage que sa Ville Natale rend à l'écrivain, nous scrutons les figures multipliées de l'origine : écriture autobiographique, généalogie des personnages, genèse du texte, métaphysique cachée, archéologie du savoir, origine des langues, archétypes de l'inconscient, Eros et le Rêve... Dans ce tourbillon sans fin qui gravite autour de l'énigme de la création littéraire, nous sommes à notre tour inspirés par l'attraction d'un invisible trou noir dont l'absence nous fascine. Point de non-retour et pourtant vers lequel on ne peut qu'essayer de faire retour : tel est le mystère des origines.
