Asphyxie
"Je m'apprête à traverser le Pont Neuf quand soudain je la vois. Elle porte ce manteau que je viens de lui offrir pour Noël, un long manteau noir, épaulé et cintré dont les pans vont en s'élargissant et tournoient à chaque pas. Mais au lieu de son habituelle démarche légère et décidée, elle avance voûtée, serrant le col contre sa gorge. Je descends, elle passe sans me voir. Elle dévie vers le caniveau au bord duquel elle s'accroupit et, retenant ses cheveux à deux mains, se met à vomir." Ils sont jeunes, beaux, talentueux et riches. Ils sont tendres, vulnérables et mal dans leur peau. Elle est cover-girl, il est rock star, et pourtant ces enfants du paradis ont le mal du siècle. Médias, drogues dures et décibels : un aller simple vers l'enfer.

About the author
Ann Herbert Scott
20 books8 followersAnn Herbert Scott describes herself as "a transplanted Easterner who has come to love the wide skies and far mountain ranges of the West." She is the author of SAM, ON MOTHER'S LAP, and several other picture books. She lives Benicia, California.
Ann Herbert Scott was born in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, and grew up writing. Her first children's book, co-authored with a friend and never published, was written at the age of 13. Many honors and children's books followed with a hiatus to marry and raise a family. Today, Scott is one of America's foremost authors of children's literature. She deftly uses her B.A. in English (University of Pennsylvania) and M.A. in Social Ethics (Yale University) to bring both credibility and wonder to her work. Many of her books deal with western, ethnic, and rural themes.
Scott moved to Reno in 1961, when she married William Taussig Scott (1916-1999), a physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her work as an "enumerator" in the agricultural census of 1964 eventually led to her writing a history of the U. S. census, with the cooperation of the Bureau of the Census. Her novel Sam was an American Library Association Notable Book for 1967. Another of her books, On Mother's Lap, was read by Captain Kangaroo on his television program as part of the national Reading is Fundamental literacy initiative. In 1996, the paperback edition of Cowboy Country was awarded the Parents' Choice Silver Honor. Scott is active in the Northern Nevada arts community and is the co-founder of the Annual Art of the Children's Book Festival. She and her husband were co-founders of Sierra Interfaith Action for Peace, a non-profit public benefit corporation in Washoe County, Nevada.
