Couverture souple. Condición: Très bon. 7ème Édition. 378 pages, dans la collection "Littérature étrangère", traduction de l'anglais par Sophie Mayoux. Quatrième de couverture : "Qui est donc Lorin Jones, cette jeune femme disparue mystérieusement à Key West en 1969 et dont l'oeuvre de peintre a peu à peu sombré dans l'oubli ? A cette question, Polly Alter, une jeune historienne de l'art new-yorkaise, a décidé de répondre, non sans mêler ses propres préjugés à son entreprise biographique. D'emblée, elle est convaincue que l'une des raisons de l'éclipse brutale de Lorin Jones est due au chauvinisme et à l'égoïsme des hommes de son entourage. Polly Alter trouve cette analyse d'autant plus justifiée, qu'après un divorce, elle se retrouve elle-même au centre d'une réflexion féministe sur sa propre vie. Au fil de ses interviews, Polly Alter connaît toutes les surprises du biographe. De l'identification passionnée, son enquête policière tourne à l'obsession puis au rejet de son personnage. Les deux vies parallèles de Polly Alter et de Lorin Jones, au lieu de converger, divergent progressivement. Derrière le titre ironique de son roman, Alison Lurie montre l'arbitraire et les prétentions ridicules de tout biographe à vouloir déchiffrer la "vérité" d'une existence donnée. A la fois roman policier, parodie biographique et roman postféministe, "La Vérité sur Lorin Jones" confirme le génie comique de Alison Lurie.". HOPPER, Edward (ilustrador). Livre.…

Couverture souple. Condición: Bon. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Jaquette en bon état. Traduction de l'anglais par Marie-Claude Peugeot. Quatrième de couverture : "Dans son quatrième roman, publié en 1969 aux Etats-Unis, Alison Lurie ouvre le journal intime d'une femme qui a trouvé refuge dans une colonie d'artistes. Janet "Belle" Smith, auteur de nouvelles médiocres, s'imagine volontiers que le vert paradis d'Illyria va lui ouvrir de nouveaux horizons et lui permettre d'écrire mieux, loin des soucis matériels et familiaux. Mais, au contact de cet environnement de créateurs, un peintre, un écrivain, un poète, elle se demande si l'on peut répodre à cette (désopilante) question : les artistes sont-ils des gens comme les autres ? La jeune silhouette d'Anna May vient bousculer toutes ces interrogations. Les rivalités, la jalousie, le désir et les mesquineries ordinaires refont surface. Janet, elle se trouve de plus en plus médiocre. Implacable portrait comique, ce roman d'Alison Lurie fait ici se rencontrer plusieurs genres littéraires. Est-ce un journal victorien détourné, le catalogue naïf d'une artiste ratée ou bien plus simplement, la mise en scène de l'ironie de soi ?". HOPPER, Edward (ilustrador). Livre.…
