Pierre Demarty Book order (chronological)

From Harper Lee comes a landmark new novel set two decades after her beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird. Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch - `Scout' - returns home from New York City to visit her ageing father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise's homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past - a journey that can be guided only by one's own conscience. Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humour and effortless precision - a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. It not only confirms the enduring brilliance of To Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context and new meaning to a classic.

Un jour, Jean Nochez sort de chez lui, traverse la rue, et entre dans l'immeuble d'en face. Il ne le quittera plus - ou presque. C'est le debut d'un etrange voyage immobile, qui va l'entrainer dans des reveries de grand large et des epopees insensees. A quoi ressemble le monde quand on lui tourne le dos ? Et que viennent faire la-dedans Paimpol, l'Islande, les goelettes et la philatelie ? En face evoque le Bartleby de Melville, Echenoz, Jarmusch, et nous embarque dans un drole de periple ponctue d'images fabuleusement dejantees. On y plonge comme dans une enigme, on en sort comme d'un songe. Un feu d'artifice stylistique et un eblouissant crepitement d'humour noir. Thomas Mahler, Le Point . Il est toujours rejouissant d'assister a la naissance d'une oeuvre qui semble vouloir s'en remettre entierement aux forces de l'ecriture. Le premier roman de Pierre Demarty s'inscrit resolument dans cette veine. Eric Chevillard, Le Monde des livres .
