We leave my mother sewing under the dinning-room light, making clothes for me against the opening of school. She has ripped up for this purpose an old plaid wool dress of hers, and she has to cut and match very cleverly and also make me stand and turn for endless fittings, sweaty, itching from the hot wool, ungrateful. We leave my brother in bed in the little screened proch at the end of the front verand, and sometimes he kneels on his bed and presses his face against the screen and calla mournfully, "Bring me an ice-cream cone !" but I call back " You will be asleep", and do not even turn my head."

Titre : The Matisse Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : BYATT, A., S. Editeur : Vintage Année de publication : 1994 Importance : 134 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-09-947271-1 Note générale : Dessins de Matisse. Contents. Acknowledgements. Index. décimale : 813 Fiction Résumé : " She had walked in one day because she had seen the Rosy Nude through the plate glass. That was odd, she thought, to have that lavish and complex creature stretched voluptuously above the coat rack, where one might have expected the stare, silver and supercilious or jetty and frenzied, of the model girl. They were all girls now, not women. The rosy nude was pure flat colour, but suggested mass. She had huge hauches ans monumental knee, lazily propped hig. She had round breasts, contemplations of the circle, reflections on flesh and its fall."

Unaccustomed earth / Jhumpa LAHIRI

Titre : Unaccustomed earth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jhumpa LAHIRI, Auteur Editeur : Vintage Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 333 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-307-27825-8 Langues : Américain (ame) Index. décimale : 813 Fiction Résumé : In the title story, Brooklyn-to-Seattle transplant Ruma frets about a presumed obligation to bring her widower father into her home, a stressful decision taken out of her hands by his unexpected independence. The alcoholism of Rahul is described by his elder sister, Sudha; her disappointment and bewilderment pack a particularly powerful punch. And in the loosely linked trio of stories closing the collection, the lives of Hema and Kaushik intersect over the years, first in 1974 when she is six and he is nine; then a few years later when, at 13, she swoons at the now-handsome 16-year-old teen's reappearance; and again in Italy, when she is a 37-year-old academic about to enter an arranged marriage, and he is a 40-year-old photojournalist.
