Nos petits mondes

Autor: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Número de Páginas: 253

S’il le pouvait, Stephen danserait tout le temps. À l’église avec ses parents et la communauté ghanéenne dont il est issu, dans les caves de son quartier à Londres, avec son amour de jeunesse dont il s’éloigne irrémédiablement, ou seul, en écoutant les vieux disques de son père qu’il aimerait mieux comprendre. Stephen est surtout un musicien, et il joue de la trompette autant qu’il le peut. Mais lorsqu’une tragédie vient frapper le jeune homme, son petit monde s’écroule. Après tout, que peut la musique face à la mort ? Dans une langue mélodieuse, une sorte d’improvisation de jazz, Caleb Azumah Nelson raconte trois étés de la vie d’un jeune homme et nous offre une histoire enchanteresse sur les mondes que nous construisons pour échapper au quotidien.

Open Water

Autor: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Número de Páginas: 168

Deux jeunes gens se cherchent du regard dans un pub londonien, échangent quelques mots, se revoient. Lui tente de percer dans la photographie, elle est danseuse. Ils partagent la même ambition, les mêmes blessures et bientôt un amour aussi fusionnel que tendre. Open Water raconte ce que c’est d’être noir dans une ville qui tantôt vous acclame, tantôt vous rejette. Une ville où l’on vous regarde plutôt que l’on vous voit. Le racisme insidieux qui abîme et la peur qui étreint lorsqu’on sort de chez soi. La violence à laquelle on ne peut échapper et l’amour qui n’y résiste pas. Histoire d’une passion déchirante et réflexion sur la condition noire et la masculinité, Open Water éblouit par la puissance de sa langue, musicale et sensorielle.

Shame in Contemporary You-Narration

Autor: Denise Wong

Número de Páginas: 257

In fiction, you-narratives written in the last decade across the world parody the form of second-person address found in advertising, self-help and 'how-to' books while anticipating shame and culpability. To establish the significance of affect, this book returns to second-person narrative theory's neglected origins in the theory of autobiography. This book examines the use of you across media: novels and memoirs by Paul Auster, Carmen Maria Machado, Alejandro Zambra, Vendela Vida, Christine Angot, Clarice Lispector, Charles Yu, and Caleb Azumah Nelson; poems by Claudia Rankine and Phoebe Waller-Bridge's play and television series Fleabag (2016-19). These texts are brought into dialogue with narratology, philosophy, literary criticism and critical race theory to illustrate how the second-person pronoun's capacity to address the real-world reader inevitably renders such narratives a site for political and ethical contestation.

Mar Alto

Autor: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Número de Páginas: 151

Dois jovens conhecem-se num bar, em Londres. Ambos são afrodescendentes britânicos, ambos receberam bolsas de estudo para escolas particulares às quais tentam pertencer. E ambos são agora artistas — ele, fotógrafo; ela, dançarina. Querem deixar as suas marcas num mundo que, à vez, tanto parece celebrá-los como rejeitá-los. Apaixonam-se, de forma terna e cautelosa, contudo cedo começam a sentir que, mesmo parecendo destinados a ficar juntos, podem ser separados pelo medo e pela violência, perturbados por forças muito para lá daquelas que podem controlar. Mar Alto é uma dolorosamente bela história de amor, uma visão poderosa sobre conceitos de raça e género. Com uma deslumbrante intensidade e tremenda inteligência emocional, Caleb Azumah Nelson oferece um relato profundamente sensível do amor e de tudo o que o alimenta.

Kleine werelden

Autor: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Número de Páginas: 229

Dansen is altijd de oplossing voor Stephens problemen. Dansen in de kerk met zijn ouders en zijn broer, want al gelooft hij misschien niet meer, hij zal altijd blijven geloven in ritme. Dansen met zijn band, de pijn en de vreugde van het leven tot muziek transformerend. Dansen in de woonkamer met zijn beste vriendin Adeline, hun voorhoofden tegen elkaar. Dansen in z'n eentje op het geluid van de oude lp's van zijn vader, die voor hem altijd een onbekende is gebleven. Maar wat als de muziek stilvalt? Als zijn vader niet meer met hem spreekt, als Stephens huis niet langer zijn thuis is? Wie is hij dan nog? Van Londen naar Ghana en weer terug, drie zomers lang, neemt Kleine werelden ons mee naar de werelden die we zelf creëren en soms weer kapotmaken, werelden vol leven, liefde en verlies.

Den har ett språk som måste läsas och en berättelse som måste bli hörd. Det var länge sen jag läste något som berörde mig så.« 1bok2katter3kopparte Två unga personer möts på en pub i sydöstra London. Båda är svarta britter, båda har fått stipendium till privatskolor där de inte passade in. Båda är nu konstnärer - han fotograf och hon dansare - som försöker lämna ett avtryck i en stad som både hyllar och förkastar dem. Deras förälskelse är öm och trevande. Men även två människor som tycks vara ödesbestämda för varandra kan slitas isär till följd av rädsla och våld. Öppet vatten är både en djupt gripande kärlekshistoria och en insiktsfull skildring av ras och maskulinitet som kulminerar i frågan vad det innebär att vara människa i en värld som bara ser ens svarta kropp. En lika...

A young woman’s birthday party is disturbed by the vision of a homeless man sleeping under an arrangement of mocking fruit... A late-night text conversation goes awry when a forwarded link to a live feed of gathering walruses doesn’t have its intended effect... A woman hopes a pending announcement to her in-laws will finally give her husband the attention he craves...

From the struggles of two women trapped by joblessness and addiction to the hopes of two teenage brothers embarking on a new life without the protection of their parents, these stories show us what happens when we fail to relate to each other as well as the refuge that belonging affords.Now celebrating its fifteenth year, the BBC National Short Story Award is one of the most prestigious for a single short story, with the winning writer receiving £15,000, and the four further shortlisted authors £600 each.

Pequenos Mundos

Autor: Caleb Azumah Nelson

Número de Páginas: 244

SÓ A DANÇA FAZ SENTIDO PARA STEPHEN. Stephen dança na igreja, com os pais e o irmão, o brilho das mãos negras levantadas em louvor; ele pode ter perdido a fé, mas se há coisa na qual ainda acredita é no ritmo. Dança com os amigos, algures numa cave, à espera da entrada enérgica da batida, do verdadeiro clímax na música eletrónica do DJ. Dança com a sua banda, criando música que fala não só das dificuldades da vida, mas também das alegrias. Dança com a sua melhor amiga, Adeline, rodopiando pela sala, cantando, mexendo-se ao ponto de quase encostarem as cabeças. Dança sozinho, em casa, ao som dos discos do pai, descobrindo partes de um homem que nunca conheceu verdadeiramente. E SE A MÚSICA DESAPARECE? Quando o pai começa a falar de vergonha e sacrifício, quando Stephen deixa de ver a sua casa como sua, como encontrará ele espaço para si mesmo: um lugar onde possa sentir-se bem, bonito, livre? Passado ao longo de três verões na vida de Stephen, de Londres ao Gana e de volta a Londres, Pequenos Mundos é um romance emocionante e expansivo sobre os locais e as emoções que construímos para nós mesmos, sobre os mundos em que vivemos, em que dançamos e...
