  • The cop who fell to Earth

    Creator

    Semple, Craig

    Abstract

    Before eighteen-year-old Craig Semple joined the New South Wales Police Force in 1988, he was someone who preferred to steer clear of trouble. But like so many young police officers, he gradually built resilience to fear through a process of selflessly, and often recklessly, turning towards danger. By the time he started locking horns with some of Australia's most notorious outlaw motorcycle gangs, Craig believed himself to be bulletproof.

    Creator

    Ciment, Jill

    Abstract

    A Time Must-Read Book of the Year – From the acclaimed novelist ("A virtuoso" – Donna Seaman, Booklist), a deft, shocking memoir that asks whether we can judge past behavior by today's moral codes, as the author reevaluates her decades-long marriage to the forty-seven-year-old man she met when she was seventeen, revisiting a singular passion in the 21st-century aftermath of #MeToo. "Few writers can tackle the bedroom – or female libido... but Ciment is a master: in exquisitely spare prose, she nails it." – The New York Times.

    Smith, Patti

    Abstract

    C'était l'été où Coltrane est mort, l'été de l'amour et des émeutes, l'été où une rencontre fortuite à Brooklyn a guidé deux jeunes gens sur la voie de l'art, de la ténacité et de l'apprentissage. Patti Smith deviendrait poète et performeuse, et Robert Mapplethorpe, au style très provocateur, se dirigerait vers la photographie.
