EASTER KRAMER: BETWEEN EMOTION AND WRITING GRANDIOSE

Pascale Kramer, author of "A man shaken", ed Mercure de France.

Suffice to say at the outset that A man shook (ed. Mercure de France, 2011, 142p., 15 euros ), the new novel by Pascale Kramer (from Switzerland) shook me. I read in one go on the plane that brought me back to New York to Los Angeles - nearly six hours - and I do not for one moment stopped reading these poignant pages served by a style combines elegance, finesse, grace and intelligence. A mediocre novelist would have poured into the pathos and we have used a history of good feelings in this "chronic of a Death Foretold "by Claude, fiftieth, suffering from cancer and who must cope with its existence in more or less complex relationships with family around her. Claude became a "man with the desire to love distant." His wife Simone sees her everyday "decomposition": " Everything in his body still seemed muscular tarnished with ashes invisible cancer". And when the couple hopes to "comfort" by the act of love, nothing does in humans. And then there yal'apparition Gaël, eleven year old son Claude, born of a "forbidden love". The child's mother, Jovana, is not far, still as beautiful as ever, with " his whole body covered in a robust and manly girl will both . Claude will he really insensitive to the charm that awakens so many memories? Simone, the current wife, she contain her outbursts of jealousy? And that's not all, there is another woman, Yolanda, mother of Cedric, another son of Claude, born from his previous marriage. If Simone had an affection for Gael, it is not always the case with Cedric. The novel advance in the deconstruction of the relationship between these characters. The reader is caught in the trap of an ending that promises unforgettable thanks to the skill of the omniscient narrator. The descriptions are wonderful, with an economy of words to make room for the power of the image: "The heat advanced into the lawn, waking a voltage of wasps in the heavy bunches of plum-looking hard nuclei. "

Basically that says it seeks in prose if not this inner turmoil, this incredible feeling that makes us think that we become the characters in the story? One enters this book on tiptoe, then it becomes the "Prisoner of Love" at the point of forgetting the boundaries of reality and fiction. What Mario Vargas Llosa called "soft power" and has just succeeded brilliantly Pascale Kramer. A real gem.

Serge IBAK the Magnificent

A star is trying to shine the Congo - Brazzaville past two years, and we hear more and more the name of this talented basketball player: Serge IBAK . Born in 1989 in Brazzaville, the boy is now moving into the team to Oklahoma City- Thunders. For those who are not familiar with the NBA championship of the United States, Oklahoma City-Thunder is not a second-team since last year she was a finalist for "play-offs against to Los Angeles Lakers. In case of victory the team could then become world champion. The championship was finally won by the Los Angeles Lakers . It has, however, show the eyes of the world a very young team, dynamic and promising future. This is also demonstrated by his current course in the meetings this season, meetings that will lead to "play-offs 2011. Oklahoma will be the light of current results. This team which is indeed changing IBAK placed to date in the fourth championship Western Conference, just behind the famous San Antonio Spurs (Tony Parker), the Los Angeles- Lackers and Dallas Mavericks . This means that "small" have become major ...

I write this brief tonight watching the game between Oklahoma City the New Orleans Hornets-, another big name. IBAK is extraordinary defense, blocking all attempts to baskets of one player from New Orleans, David West .

The Congolese have "practiced" in France (Prissé Macon) and then in the English league in 2008 before applying to the NBA where he was first chosen (draft) in 24 th position by Team Seattle, the SuperSonics before becoming a rising star of Oklahoma City- Thunders alongside other very young stars of his team, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (a former student of my university, UCLA).

Good luck to this new star to our happiness and honor!
