Ils vivent en Suisse, au Japon, à New York, Los Angeles ou Tel-Aviv. Ce sont des hommes et des femmes de tous âges qu'a priori rien ne rapproche. Et pourtant... Saisis à un moment décisif de leur parcours, les personnages d'Être un homme sont poussés à questionner le sens profond de leur existence. Pour certains, il s'agit de leur judéité. Pour d'autres, des liens familiaux, amoureux ou amicaux qui les unissent. Dans ce recueil de nouvelles conçu avec l'ampleur d'un roman, Nicole Krauss impressionne par la justesse et la poésie de son écriture.

A new york, la jeune alma ne sait comment surmonter la mort de son père.
Elle croit trouver la solution dans un livre que sa mère traduit de l'espagnol, et dont l'héroïne porte le même prénom qu'elle. non loin de là, un très vieil homme se remet à écrire, ressuscitant la pologne de sa jeunesse, son amour perdu, le fils qui a grandi sans lui. et au chili, bien des années plus tôt, un exilé compose un roman. trois solitaires qu'unit pourtant, à leur insu, le plus intime des liens : un livre unique, l'histoire de l'amour, dont ils vont devoir, chacun à sa manière, écrire la fin.
Cet admirable roman, hanté par la shoah, offre une méditation déchirante sur la mémoire et le deuil. mais c'est avant tout un hymne à la vie, écrit dans une langue chatoyante et allègre, l'affirmation d'un amour plus fort que la perte, et une célébration, dans la lignée de borges, des pouvoirs magiques de la littérature. il impose d'emblée nicole krauss comme une romancière de tout premier plan. prix du meilleur livre étranger 2006

A great gift' New York Review of Books 'Tantalizes and compels ...

During the winter of 1972, a woman spends a single night with a young Chilean poet before he departs New York, leaving her his desk. It is the only time they ever meet. Two years later, he is arrested by Pinochet's secret police and never seen again. Across the ocean, in the leafy suburbs of London, a man caring for his dying wife discovers a lock of hair among her papers that unravels a terrible secret. In Jerusalem, an antiques dealer has spent a lifetime reassembling his father's study, plundered by the Nazis from Budapest in 1944; now only one item remains to be found.

Connecting these lives is a desk of many drawers that exerts a power over those who possess it or give it away. And as the narrators of Great House make their confessions, this desk comes finally to stand for all that has been taken from them, and all that binds them to what has disappeared.

Great House is a story haunted by questions: What do we pass on to our children and how do they absorb our dreams and losses? How do we respond to disappearance, destruction, and change?

Nicole Krauss has written a soaring, powerful novel about memory struggling to create a meaningful permanence in the face of inevitable loss.

TO BE A MAN - STORIES

In this dazzling collection of short fiction, the National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestselling author of The History of Love --"one of America's most important novelists and an international literary sensation" ( New York Times )--explores what it means to be in a couple, and to be a man or a woman in that perplexing relationship and beyond. In one of her strongest works of fiction yet, Nicole Krauss plunges fearlessly into the struggle to understand what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman, and the arising tensions that have existed from the very beginning of time. Set in our contemporary moment, and moving across the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America, the stories in To Be a Man feature male characters as fathers, lovers, friends, children, seducers, and even a lost husband who may never have been a husband at all. The way these stories mirror one other and resonate is beautiful, with a balance so finely tuned that the book almost feels like a novel. Echoes ring through stages of life: aging parents and new-born babies; young women's coming of age and the newfound, somewhat bewildering sexual power that accompanies it; generational gaps and unexpected deliveries of strange new leases on life; mystery and wonder at a life lived or a future waiting to unfold. To Be a Man illuminates with a fierce, unwavering light the forces driving human existence: sex, power, violence, passion, self-discovery, growing older. Profound, poignant, and brilliant, Krauss's stories are at once startling and deeply moving, but always revealing of all-too-human weakness and strength.
