Book suggestions from our journalist Jean-Sébastien Bourré

A remarkable woman, Catherine Éthier (Stanké)

A feather to be discovered! Lively, witty, deep and strongly illustrated… A novel in which the reader will come to great insights, and which will sometimes make him laugh.

The story features Corinne Gazaille, a public figure from Quebec who works in both radio and television. The general public loves her and she has everything to shine in the spotlight. However, diving into her thoughts, into a beautifully woven story told in the first person, we realize that Corinne does not shine so much from the inside. Her anxiety, certain life choices and a somewhat comforting idea of ​​her own death draw a daily life for her that is very different from what would be expected of a thirty-year-old woman who should have everything to herself.

Catherine Éthier’s pen is sensitive and full of interesting cultural references that have the good fortune to surprise us when Corinne presents them as a comparison in situations where we would least expect it. Her writing reflects all the beautiful strength of the woman that she is and that she portrays through her character.

Extract

“I decided to file for bankruptcy in Longueuil.

I can’t say what convinced me the most, above all that I wasn’t bankrupt in my bourgeois neighborhood – where I would inevitably meet a vague acquaintance, who would congratulate me on my recent successes, ignoring my puffy face covered with nasty cramps and dripping tears – and walking into the office in the city where I grew up. Longueuil witnessed everything. She witnessed my first kiss in the driveway in front of the pink house. She saw me bleaching my mustache and considered it a great success. Longueuil also took care of me, abandoned at this McDonald’s table in his sad subway, minutes after my first love left me. The big one (big loves, especially the first ones, know how to do it, when it’s time to choose the right place for a gentle parting next to a fish fillet). No city knew me better.

Like a grandmother who loves her grandchildren even if they butcher the neighbor’s cat, Longueuil would forgive me for the sad wreck I had become. The return of the trash child begging for forgiveness for being so disappointing. »

One day my head bent my knees, Alain Labonté and La Bête Noire (La Bête Noire)

This book is beautiful, both aesthetically and in writing. A beautiful combination of the work of Alain Labonté and the photographer nicknamed La Bête Noire.

One day my head bent in my knees tells an unusual story in an era in which we become aware of what is unacceptable in our relationships with others, what we should not (anymore) accept. It is about self-discovery within LGBTQ+ communities, the search for love, domestic violence and self-reconstruction.

Love for yourself before love for others.

The images of La Bête Noire are striking, striking, and the text by Alain Labonté is poignant and poignant. A book to put on the coffee table to occasionally read excerpts from it or to allow guests to do so.

“The title “One day my head bent my knees” inspired me with fragments of a story about a man from the LGBT community who, as an adult, will be a victim of domestic violence. This period will be characterized by anxiety and depression. – Alain Labonté, in the foreword

“A priori, my art is not aesthetic, but ethical. In our world where predatory appetite triumphs, I question religious, political and every other form of subjugation of man to man. I also wonder about our individual and collective values ​​or our own alienations. – The black beast, in the preface

“One day it was you.

For the first time, my heart gave way.

I opened the door for you.

You entered through all the windows.

Then I drank from your hand, you were so beautiful.

I put you in the center of everything.

Slowly, my lips on yours, I built my first house of cards.

My head slowly began to bend on my knees. »
