Gemma Bovery / Posy Simmonds
Titre : Gemma Bovery Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Posy Simmonds Editeur : London [England] : Jonathan Cape Année de publication : 1999 Importance : 106 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-224-05251-1 Note générale : First published in cartoon strip form in the Guardian. Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Anglais Résumé : Gemma is the bored, pretty second wife of Charlie Bovery, the reluctant stepmother of his children and the béte-noire of his ex-wife. Gemma's sudden windfall and distaste for London take them across the Channel to Normandy, where the charms of French country living soon wear off. Is it a coincidence that Gemma Bovery has a name rather like Flaubert's notorious heroine? Is it by chance that, like Madame Bovary, Gemma is bored, adulterous and a bad credit risk? Réservation

Titre : Tamara Drewe Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Posy Simmonds Editeur : London [England] : Jonathan Cape Année de publication : 2007 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-224-07816-0 Prix : £12.99 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Anglais Résumé : Tamara Drewe has transformed herself. Plastic surgery, a different wardrobe, a smouldering look, have given her confidence and a new and thrilling power to attract, which she uses recklessly. Often just for the fun of it.
People are drawn to Tamara Drewe, male and female. In the remote village where her late mother lived Tamara arrives to clear up the house. Here she becomes an object of lust, of envy, the focus of unrequited love, a seductress. To the village teenagers she is 'plastic-fantastic', a role model. Ultimately, when her hot and indiscriminate glances lead to tragedy, she is seen as a man-eater, a heartless marriage wrecker, a slut.Note de contenu : First appearing as a serial in the Guardian, in book form Tamara Drewe has been enlarged, embellished and lovingly improved by the author.

Titre : Literary life Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Posy Simmonds, Auteur Editeur : London [England] : Jonathan Cape Année de publication : 2003 Importance : 96 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-224-07269-2 Prix : £16.99 Note générale : This book consists of approximately fifty 'Literary Life' cartoons which were serialised weekly every Saturday in the Guardian's Review section from November 2002 until December 2004, and two short stories, 'Murder at Matabele Mansions' and 'Cinderella'. Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Anglais Résumé : Posy Simmonds examines the pretensions of the literary world with her customary flair for light, witty satire and social observation. Women writers suffer 'Rustic Block' after moving to the countryside, type their sexual fantasies into their laptop, and (in 'Enemies of Promise') juggle the dilemmas of feminism and motherhood. Male authors are shown suffering the ego-perils of coming into contact with the public at book signings, and complain about reviewers and 'media hoops'. Jealousies and rivalries emerge out of reading groups; struggling small booksellers have to deal with recalcitrant customers or sales reps pushing the latest celebrity book. Simmonds' penchant for literary pastiche and parody is given full rein, as in 'Murder at Matebele Mansions'. And she wickedly suggests a family's fixed smiles as a young girl explains the plot of her Harry Potter book. Réservation
