The public broadcaster France Info said that the sex scene, involving a character called Julia, had been greeted with “mockery and stupefaction”, while the French edition of the Huffington Post headlined its story “Bruno Le Maire has written about an anus and no one was ready for this.” But it was a sex scene in chapter 11 that has gone viral and prompted French satirists and protesters to ridicule Le Maire. ![]() The minister’s book is a fictionalised account of the pianist Vladimir Horowitz, told through the story of two brothers who travel to Cuba to attend one of his concerts.

This is the story of Cassius X over twelve months in Miami, a city that was changing faster than America itself, as he trains for the fight that will bring him global fame: his world heavyweight title fight against Sonny Liston in February 1964. The name he assumed over those now-forgotten months was Cassius X. For many months he received guidance from Malcolm X, who had traveled from Harlem to Miami to be his mentor as he studied for his entry into the deeply divided and fratricidal Nation of Islam. Although Muhammad Ali’s decision to assume a new name has often been portrayed as a sudden transformation, Cassius Clay’s conversion to Islam was a process, not an event. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments Heartburn novel![]() ![]() ![]() The Most of Nora Ephron gives you a close-up and thorough view of the writer, which seems a particularly important thing to do, because her death was met with such an emotional response. As her editor Robert Gottlieb writes in the introduction, this massive book was meant "to celebrate the richness of her work, the amazing arc of her career, and the place she had come to hold in the hearts of countless readers." Gottlieb and Ephron started to work on the book together, but somehow it didn't get done, and he wonders if it was because Ephron, knowing she was ill but telling very few people, began to see the book as "a memorial," which made her uncomfortable. At various points in her life she was a reporter, a journalist, an essayist, a screenwriter, a novelist, a playwright, and even, briefly, a blogger. When Nora Ephron died in June of 2012, she left behind a big, diverse body of work that spanned decades and genres. I'm always amazed at what does or doesn't last –– what seems fresh as time passes, or what takes on that dreaded sepia tint even just a year or two later. When writers die, it's hard to know if their work will live on. ![]() Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
