STEPHEN KING ÜBER CHRISTOPHER SMITH: "Sie dürfen mich gern als begeisterten Fan von Christopher Smith bezeichnen. Smith ist ein kulturelles Genie." Vor sechzehn Jahren hat Camille Miller ihrem Leben als Assassine, als Auftragskillerin den Rücken gekehrt, und sich nur noch um ihre Tochter Emma gekümmert. Doch dann wird ihr Vater brutal ermordet, und Camille muss sich auf ihre alten Fähigkeiten besinnen, um herauszufinden, wer der Täter ist und was sein Motiv war. Die Verdächtigen? Ihre sechs Geschwister, allesamt scharf auf das Erbe. Scharf genug, um dafür einen Mord zu begehen? Ohne Wissen ihrer Mutter schmiedet Emma einen Plan, um das Rätsel als Erste zu lösen. Und was Camille ebenfalls nicht ahnt: Privatdetektiv Marty Spellman ist auf der Suche nach ihr. Er muss sie finden - das Leben seiner Familie steht auf dem Spiel. Im Laufe eines einzigen Tages verändert sich das Leben aller Beteiligten, im Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Nichts ist, wie es scheint, und niemand ist sicher. Nicht eine Sekunde lang.

What is going on when a graphic novel has a twelfth-century samurai pick up a telephone to make a call, or a play has an ancient aristocrat teaching in a present-day schoolroom? Rather than regarding such anachronisms as errors, Samurai with Telephones develops a theory of how texts can use different types of anachronisms to challenge or rewrite history, play with history, or open history up to new possibilities. By applying this theoretical framework of anachronism to several Japanese literary and cultural works, the book demonstrates how different texts can use anachronism to open up history for a wide variety of different textual projects. From the modern period, author Christopher Smith examines literature by Mori Ōgai and Ōe Kenzaburō, manga by Tezuka Osamu, art by Murakami Takashi, and a variety of other pop cultural works. Turning to the Early Modern period (Edo period, 1600-1868), which produced a literature rich with playful anachronism, he also examines several Kabuki and Bunraku plays, kibyōshi comic books, and gōkan illustrated novels. In analyzing these works, he draws a distinction between anachronisms that attempt to hide their work on history and convincingly rewrite it and those conspicuous anachronisms that highlight and disrupt the construction of historical narratives.

En une seule journée, Marty, Camille et Emma, et la fille de Marty, Beth Spellman, se retrouvent dans une course où les rebondissements ne manquent pas. Et personne, pas un seul instant, n'est en sécurité. Editorial Kirkus à propos de LIENS DE SANG: "Ce thriller au rythme rapide est agréable à lire .... Le récit m'a gardé collé au siège et je ne pouvais vraiment pas prédire ce qui allait se passer ensuite .... Le rythme ne faiblit jamais ... . Les personnages centraux de Camille, Sam, Emma, Marty et Jennifer sont nuancés et très fidèles à ce qu'ils seraient dans la vie. Bien que la leur soit une vie hors du commun vécue à un rythme effréné, j'ai développé une véritable empathie pour leur sort et toujours senti qu'ils étaient, en dépit de leurs choix de vie inhabituels ou des circonstances, des gens authentiques et bien intentionnés. Le clan Miller et leurs connaissances ont été exceptionnellement bien dessinés, alternant entre le pragmatisme petit, le snobisme sans vergogne, la cupidité et une noblesse oblige perverse. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les représentations humoristiques et mordantes des frères et soeurs de Camille ... Dialogue de haut niveau et descriptions excentriques". Kirkus Editorial ***JIM ASHLEY à propos de Christopher Smith*** Smith est un maître conteur de sa génération. Si vous êtes un fan des thrillers à suspense aux rebondissements incroyables, vous allez vite devenir un inconditionnel de Christopher Smith ! Il vous incite à tomber amoureux de ses personnages, afin que vous soyez totalement pris au dépourvu quand leur sort change, et prend une direction que vous n'aviez pas soupçonné un instant. Il élève les styles de James Patterson et de Steven King à un niveau inédit. Je peux honnêtement dire que j'ai passé beaucoup trop d'heures de fin de soirée sur ses livres parce que je ne pouvais pas les poser, et je ne pouvais pas attendre... A partir de 5ème Avenue, il construit ces personnages divertissants et profonds, et vous savez que ça ne peut pas être la fin, mais le début de futures histoires compliquées avec ces fortes personnalités. Avec La course des taureaux, vous êtes tellement pris dans l'action que vous vous prenez de passion pour des personnages qui historiquement seraient les méchants dans d'autres histoires. Christopher semble placer la barre toujours plus haut, et j'ai hâte de connaître ses prochaines inventions. Un must quand on veut lire du mystère, du suspense, et du thriller amoureux !
