Fay Weldon Livres
22 septembre 1931 – 4 janvier 2023
Fay Weldon est une auteure, essayiste et dramaturge anglaise dont l'œuvre a été associée au féminisme. Dans sa fiction, Weldon dépeint généralement des femmes contemporaines qui se retrouvent piégées dans des situations oppressives, souvent issues de la structure patriarcale de la société britannique. Son écriture dissèque avec acuité les normes sociales et explore la vie intérieure de personnages en quête d'autonomie et de liberté dans des environnements restrictifs. Avec esprit et une lentille satirique, Weldon expose l'hypocrisie et les injustices auxquelles les femmes sont confrontées.
A new collection of short stories from the glitteringly talented author of The Cloning of Joanna May and The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. The people in these stories--mothers, lovers, wives, and betrayers--all must make choices, and they all have something to learn.
Clifford Wexford, the rising star of a Sotheby's-like international art-auction house, and Helen Lally, the daughter of an eccentric artist, fall in love at first sight in the '60s and make each other perfectly miserable for the next 20 years. Their passionate squabbles lead to the disappearance of their beautiful three-year-old daughter Nell, whose subsequent bizarre adventures involve her with the motley likes of senile French devil worshippers and kind British drug-dealers. With characteristic arch wit, Fay Weldon spins a supple, modern-day fairytale, replete with heroes and heroines, evil-doers, fairy godmothers, castles and fateful coincidences.

When Rex received his party invitation, he was in a bad temper and tore it up. His sister's tears and his Mother's scolding just made him angrier, so he crawled under the bed. The illustrations take the reader into Rex's dreams of fantastic parties. The author also wrote "Wolf the Mechanical Dog".
In the vengeful mode of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, Weldon presents an electrifying tale of a marriage gone bad. After ten years of trying, a young novelist is delighted to learn she is pregnant. But her husband becomes cruel and distant--and accuses her of murdering his "inner child".
