Funny Boy / Shyam Selvadurai

Public ISBD Titre : Funny Boy : A Novel in Six Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Shyam Selvadurai, Auteur Editeur : Vintage Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 320 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-09-945921-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Genres:Enfance / Relations familiales Littérature Littérature:- Roman Résumé : In the world of his large family, affluent Tamils living in Colombo, Arjie is an oddity, a 'funny boy' who prefers dressing as a girl to playing cricket with his brother. In FUNNY BOY we follow the life of the family through Arjie's eyes, as he comes to terms both with his own homo-sexuality and with the racism of the society in which he lives. In the north of Sri Lanka there is a war going on between the army and the Tamil Tigers, and gradually it begins to encroach on the family's comfortable life. Sporadic acts of violence flare into full scale riots and lead, ultimately, to tragedy. Written in clear, simple prose, Syam Selvadurai's first novel is masterly in its mingling of the personal and political.

Loaded / Christos Tsiolkas

Public ISBD Titre : Loaded Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christos Tsiolkas, Auteur Editeur : Vintage Année de publication : 1997 Importance : 151 pages ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-09-975771-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Genres:Enfance / Relations familiales Littérature Littérature:- Roman Résumé : Families can detonate. Some families are torn apart forever by one small act, one solitary mistake. In my family it was a series of small explosions; consistent, passionate, pathetic. Cruel words, crude threats... We spurred each other on till we reached a crescendo of pain and we retired exhaused to our rooms, in tears or in fury. Ari is nineteen, unemployed and a poofter who doesn't want to be gay. He is looking for something - anything - to take him away from his aimless existence in suburban Melbourne. He doesn't believe in anyone or anything, except the power of music. All he wants to do is dance, take drugs, have sex and change the world. For Ari, all the orthodoxies of family, sex, politics and work have collapsed. Caught between the traditional Greek world of his parents and friends and the alluring, destructive world of clubs, chemicals and anonymous sex, all Ari can do is ease his pain in the only ways he knows how.

He arrives home one morning with a most unusual package - a baby that he presents as the inheritor to the family name and fortune. In honor of his beloved sister, who died young, Loveall names the baby Rose. The household, relieved at the continuation of the Loveall line, ignores the fact that this Rose has a thorn...that she is, in fact, a boy. Rose grows up with the two servant children who are her only friends, blissfully unaware of her own gender, casually hitting boundaries at Love Hall's yearly cricket game and learning to shave even as she continues to wear more and more elaborate dresses. Until, of course, the fateful day when Rose's world comes crashing down around her, and she is banished from Love Hall as an impostor by those who would claim her place as heir.
