Pierre Demarty Book order (chronological)

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014. Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her. Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee’s enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.

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 .
