Albert Keller, pensionierter Literaturdozent, trauert noch immer um seinen Sohn, der mit vierzehn Jahren bei einem tragischen Verkehrsunfall gestorben ist. Dass Morris nie die Erfahrung der Liebe machen durfte, empfindet Albert als kaum zu ertragende Ungerechtigkeit. Ist er unterwegs, hält er Ausschau nach Mädchen, die für Morris infrage gekommen wären. Trost sind dem Alleinlebenden zudem die Bücher des Schriftstellers Jean Mason, in denen er Morris wiederzufinden glaubt. Als Mason stirbt, sucht Albert dessen Familie auf, um für eine Biographie zu recherchieren. Dabei trifft er auf dessen Tochter, die zwölfjährige Joëlle. Sie wird von ihm zum »Mädchen für Morris« auserkoren, bis er eines Tages erkennt, dass er in Wahrheit selbst das junge Mädchen begehrt – und schließlich zu weit geht.Ein raffiniertes Spiel mit dem Thema „Fiktion und Wirklichkeit“ sowie mit Klassikern von Vladimir Nabokov, Lewis Carroll und Thomas Mann. Nie kann sich der Leser sicher sein, ob das, was erzählt wird, tatsächlich geschieht. Wer zieht die Fäden in dieser Geschichte? Wer ist hier Erzähler und wer literarische Figur? Und welche Macht hat ein Schriftsteller über seine Figuren und damit auch über die Phantasien und Reflexe seines Lesers?

La 4e de couv. indique : ""Autopianographie" : écrire un récit de soi au piano comme on improvise un chorus, raconter une existence à partir du rapport entre quatre-vingt-huit touches d'ivoire et les dix doigts qui les ont approchées avec ferveur. L'auteur a beaucoup fréquenté les pianos. Ce n'est pas un musicien professionnel. Plutôt un pianoteur. Après avoir tenté, sur le tard, de "faire pianiste de jazz", il a renoncé. Pas tout à fait cependant. Son amour dilettante du piano a pris mille formes, passant par tous les stades d'une relation passionnelle et dévoratrice : élans, déceptions, ruptures, retrouvailles enflammées ... Autant qu'un hymne à la musique de jazz comme forme de vie, ce livre est une méditation légère sur nos vocations secrètes, étouffées ou renaissantes. Etre un peu autre que soi, voilà ce qu'une pratique artistique, même modestement mise en oeuvre, nous donne à rêver. Tout amateur (l'amateur : celui qui aime) se reconnaîtra dans ces lignes - que son violon d'Ingres se nomme chant lyrique, dessin, théâtre, saxophone ou claquettes.

Henri Peyre (1901-1988), a giant figure in French studies, did more to introduce Americans to the modern literature and culture of French than any other person. Sterling Professor and chair of the French Department of Yale University for more than four decades, Peyre was also the author of forty-four books, a brilliant speaker, and a mentor to two generations of students. He left enormous legacies as both teacher and scholar. Peyre also left a large and fascinating body of correspondence. This collection of his letters documents the era in which he lived. His lively letters also bear witness to the vast network of his friends and colleagues, including such major post-war literary figures as Robert Penn Warren, Andre Gide, and Andre Malraux.

The spread of English is so much an integral part of globalization that it has become an essential global literacy skill. In Asia, this poses immense challenges to governments and English language teaching and teacher education professions as they attempt to meet this demand from students for a high level of English proficiency. This volume examines English language education policies across ten Asian jurisdictions, the corresponding teacher education policies, and how these policies affect teachers and teacher educators. Each chapter covers a different jurisdiction, and is written by a scholar engaged in the implementation of government policies on English language and teacher education, providing the reader with insiders' perspectives. It gives a fascinating glimpse into the remarkable similarities in the challenges posed to these countries and the critical issues that have emerged from the local responses despite their markedly different socioeconomic, political, cultural and historical backgrounds.
