Le 27 octobre 1949, le nouvel avion d'Air France, le Constellation, lance par l'extravagant M. Howard Hughes, accueille trente-sept passagers. Le 28 octobre, l'avion ne repond plus a la tour de controle. Il a disparu en descendant sur l'ile Santa Maria, dans l'archipel des Acores. Aucun survivant. La question que pose Adrien Bosc dans cet ambitieux premier roman n'est pas tant comment, mais pourquoi ? Quel est l'enchainement d'infimes causalites qui, mises bout a bout, ont precipite l'avion vers le mont Redondo ? Quel est le hasard objectif, notion chere aux surrealistes, qui rend necessaire ce tombeau d'acier ? Et qui sont les passagers ? Si l'on connait Marcel Cerdan, l'amant boxeur d'Edith Piaf, si l'on se souvient de cette musicienne prodige que fut Ginette Neveu, dont une partie du violon sera retrouvee des annees apres, l'auteur lie les destins entre eux. Entendre les morts, ecrire leur legende minuscule et offrir a quarantehuit hommes et femmes, comme autant de constellations, vie et recit.

The crew of a French reconnaissance plane during WW1 consisted of just two men: a pilot and an observer. Two such men are Jean Herbillon and Claude Maury. Herbillon's dreams of glory as an air ace have been dashed after only a few months at the front; Maury suffers from a broken heart--his only hope is that his exploits as a pilot will win back his lost love. Together the two form one of the best crews in the air, fighting in the first aerial conflict in history--one in which a combatant can count his life expectancy in weeks. The pressure of war forges a strong bond between the two flyers, but can it survive the discovery that they are both in love with the same woman?

Joseph Kessel's autobiographical novel is a staggering tale of courage, brotherhood and loss.

In sixteen ferocious short stories, French author Luc Lang encapsulates the brutality of everyday life. Each tale is an admixture of tragedy, comedy, ridicule, and pain. Compassion lurks somewhere, perhaps, but pity is conspicuous by its absence. Lang's curt, agitated prose disassembles daily life with a swift, unflinching hand and examines it with a sharp, analytic eye. Skinning quotidian moments to bare, raw impulses, confusions, and the agonies underneath, the stories in Cruel Tales from the Thirteenth Floor show the mundane grind of the everyday forces that are fueled by cruel calculation and amoral happenstance and shot through with bizarre surprise. The results are at once coldly comic and powerfully tragic. Interpreting human interactions as a series of precise jabs and desperate flailings, Cruel Tales from the Thirteenth Floor tells truths about the darker sides of our potential and our well-meaning urges dimmed by chance. Luc Lang is an award-winning French author of many works, including Voyage sur la ligne d'horizon; Furies; and Les Indiens. He has also published the startling autobiographical work 11 septembre mon amour. He teaches aesthetics at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris et Cergy. Donald Nicholson-Smith has translated noir or noirish fiction by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Thierry Jonquet, and, with Alyson Waters, Yasmina Khadra's Cousin K (Nebraska, 2013). Born in Manchester, England, he is a longtime resident of New York City.
