Starke Geschichten über Frauen aus Russland, der Ukraine und Georgien, die in Amerika ihr Glück suchen.

Ein beeindruckendes Debüt einer talentierten Autorin, die russische und amerikanische Traditionen vereint.

Le jour où Hanka a descendu la rampe d’Auschwitz-Birkenau, avec ses parents et son frère, elle a pris la file de gauche. Hanka est juive, elle a 15 ans, mais elle se fait passer pour une Aryenne de 18 ans. Maintenant, on l’appelle Fine et elle est la plus jeune des prostituées du Feldbordell 232 Est. On l’a stérilisée et, sur son ventre et sur son bras, on a tatoué le mot Feldhure (« putain aux armées»). Pendant vingt et un longs jours de calvaire, elle choisit de survivre à tout prix et ne cessera jamais d’espérer. Elle avait les yeux verts est le premier livre publié en français par l’écrivain tchèque Arnošt Lustig, déporté à 15 ans à Terezin, Buchenwald et Auschwitz.

Professor Harry Butler is obsessed with the Mind/Body problem. Unfortunately this is not the least of his problems. Harry's wife has turned his study into a sufi shrine where she sits cross-legged and chants for hours on end, 'I am not the body'. And Harry doesn't know it yet but the Drug Squad has taken up residence in his kitchen so as to observe the movements of his neighbours and their visitors. Among these visitors, photographed by the Drug Quad, is one of his oldest friends. And living next door is a woman Harry may have had an encounter with in Singapore. The university is no escape from these complications on the domestic front: Harry's relationship with a student is causing concern among the Philosophy Department Women's Collective. Some of his colleagues also suspect him of going astray academically. The story takes place in Auckland New Zealand. But who is telling the story? Why is he in Europe? Why does he keep moving from one city to another, and why does he seem to require the presence of a certain Uta Haverstrom in order to write it?

In the swinging culture of sixties' London, Canadian Mortimer Griffin is a beleaguered editor adrift in a sea of hypocrisy and deceit. Alone in a world where nobody shares his values but everyone wants the same things, Mortimer must navigate the currents of these changing times. Richler's eccentric cast of characters include the gorgeous Polly, who conducts her life as though it were a movie, complete with censor-type cuts at all the climactic moments; Rachel Coleman, slinky Black Panther of the boudoir; Star Maker, the narcissistic Hollywood tycoon who has discovered the secret of eternal life; and a precocious group of school children with a taste for the teachings of the Marquis de Sade. "Cocksure" is a savagely funny satire on television, movies, and the entertainment industry.""This is Mordecai Richler at his most caustic and wicked best. "From the Hardcover edition."
