Мари Ндьяй — новинки

From the best-selling author of Three Strong Women comes a thrilling novel about a triple homicide that dredges up unsettling memories from a lawyer's childhood

Marie NDiaye has long been celebrated for her unrivaled ability to make us see just how little we understand about ourselves. My Heart Hemmed In is her most powerful statement on the hidden selves that we rarely glimpse—and are often shocked by.

There is something very wrong with Nadia and her husband Ange, middle-aged provincial schoolteachers who slowly realize that they are despised by everyone around them. One day a savage wound appears in Ange’s stomach, and as Nadia fights to save her husband’s life their hideous neighbor Noget—a man everyone insists is a famous author—inexplicably imposes his care upon them. While Noget fattens them with ever richer foods, Nadia embarks on a nightmarish visit to her ex-husband and estranged son—is she abandoning Ange or revisiting old grievances in an attempt to save him?

Conjuring an atmosphere of paranoia and menace, My Heart Hemmed In creates a bizarre, foggy world where strange coincidences, harsh cruelty, and constantly shifting relationships all seem part of some shadowy truth. Surreal, allegorical, and psychologically acute, My Heart Hemmed In shows a masterful author giving her readers her most complex and compelling world yet.

From the hugely acclaimed author of Three Strong Women—“a masterpiece of narrative ingenuity and emotional extremes” (The New York Times)—here is a harrowing and subtly crafted novel of a woman captive to a secret shame.

Just as Clarisse’s husband and daughter know nothing of Ladivine, Clarisse herself has hidden nearly every aspect of her adult life from this woman, whom she dreads and despises but also pities. Long ago abandoned by Clarisse’s father, Ladivine works as a…

In this new novel, the first by a black woman ever to win the coveted Prix Goncourt, Marie NDiaye creates a luminous narrative triptych as harrowing as it is beautiful. This is the story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged, tyrannical father to save another victim of his paternity; Fanta, who leaves a modest but contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her white boyfriend back to France, where his delusional depression and sense of failure poison everything; and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband’s family with nothing but the name of a distant…

Die vierzigjährige Norah gibt dem Drängen ihres Vaters nach und besucht ihn in Dakar: Die Juristin soll ihren Bruder aus dem Gefängnis holen. Das schwierige Treffen mit dem Vater führt die Frau an den Rand des Wahnsinns. Fanta hat im Unterschied zu Norah Dakar verlassen, um ihrem Ehemann Rudy in die französische Provinz zu folgen. Sie gibt sich dort vor Langeweile auf, so meint Rudy, durch dessen Perspektive wir von Fanta erfahren - doch ihm entgeht Entscheidendes. Von Afrika aus betrachtet erscheint ihre Existenz geradezu luxuriös und begehrenswert, weshalb Khady, die junge Afrikanerin, illegal nach Frankreich einzuwandern sich bemüht -…

La vie de Rosie Carpe commence à Brive-la-Gaillarde, entre son frère Lazare et ses deux parents Carpe qui sont encore, alors, dépourvus de toute espèce de fantaisie vénéneuse. Rosie conservera de Brive un souvenir confus et voilé de jaune, tandis que, pour son frère Lazare, le bonheur à Brive-la-Gaillarde gardera les couleurs d'un magnolia dont il est le seul à se rappeler la splendeur. Ensuite, à Anthony, Rosie Carpe est adulte. Elle met au monde Titi, travaille, et doucement chavire. Quand Rosie Carpe débarque en Guadeloupe, elle a perdu depuis longtemps la maîtrise de ce qu'elle fait. Et tout ce qui lui arrive, enfant ou désastres, concerne tout aussi bien quelqu'un qui n'est peut-être pas elle.
