Welcome to Cafés! Somewhere to eat and forget about work, where we can meet friends and not think about love, where we can meet lovers and be too nervous to eat. In Holly Pester's unique lyric, the café becomes a structure of fantasy and language exploring life at the pressurised edges. It becomes a form – a canto or a verse – unearthing what this space promises us in terms of freedom and thought, and what it holds back.

Ce matin-là, la plus célèbre actrice française a le sentiment que quelque chose lui échappe. Chez elle, son employée de maison l'évite. Dans la rue, on ne se retourne pas sur son passage...

Après les succès du Chien de madame Halberstadt (Le Tripode, 2019) et de Clara lit Proust (Gallimard, 2022), Stéphane Carlier signe avec ce dixième roman une comédie à l'humour tendre autant qu'une fantaisie chahutant les limites du réel.

The War of the Worlds is the classic alien-invasion novel: Martian cylinders fall down upon a complacent Victorian England, unleashing towering tripods, heat rays and poisonous black smoke. An unnamed writer is among the humans trying to flee, and it is through his eyes that we see the shattering of ordinary life by beings with advanced intelligence and weaponry. The novel's terror is timeless. Its depiction of technological shock, mass panic and sudden ruin feels both fantastical and unnervingly possible. It exposes the arrogance of empire and the horror of facing a power we don't understand.
