"Alternately chilling, funny, devastating, and hopeful, these 17 stories introduce us to a theater critic who winds up in a hot tub with the actress he routinely savages in reviews; a biographer who struggles to discover why a novelist stopped writing; a student who contends with her predatory professor; and the startling scenario of the last satyr meeting his last woman."--Publisher's description.

According to Russell Banks, North Carolina ex-pat Leon Rooke's work charts "what the short story form can and cannot do, for he works out there in the terra incognita mapping limits." Hitting the Charts, a nineteen story Best-Of compilation, offers stories as free from constraint as a Monk solo, and as disquieting and resonant as a southern Baptist preacher at a big-tent revival. Dancing is not forbidden.

Tout commence à partir d'une simple photographie...
Une femme, baignée par une lumière pâle, dans une grande pièce nue, se tient devant sa fenêtre.
Elle détourne la tête, sa chevelure masque son visage. Se dérobe-t-elle délibérément ? Est-elle saisie à l'instant o elle s'éloigne de la fenêtre ? Une inquiétude sourd de cette image et de son hors-champ.
Ce récit, inspiré d'une œuvre photographique de Guillaume Herbaut, nous...

Extrait: "C'est une chose connue que, vers la fin du souper, quand les hommes sont ivres, ils se plaisent à causer de l'immortalité de l'âme. La discussion est souvent fort vive ; l'un verse des larmes en parlant de sa mère ; l'autre, cœur endurci, se plaît et s'exalte dans le blasphème. Les jeunes filles d'amour, étoiles des cabinets particuliers, mangeuses de pommes, d'écrevisses et d'amandes vertes, s'occupent peu de l'autre monde."

"Jez Burrows opened the New Oxford American Dictionary and sat, mystified. Instead of the definition of "study" he was looking for, he found himself drawn to the strangely conspicuous, curiously melodramatic sentence that followed it: "He perched on the edge of the bed, a study in confusion and misery." It read like a tiny piece of fiction on the lam and hiding out in the dictionary--and it wasn't alone. Was it possible to reunite these fugitive fictions?...
