New Releases by Eric Jerome Dickey

" La mine très soucieuse, Elle a posé sa main sur la mienne. J''ai observé longuement sa peau à côté de la mienne. (...) Ses yeux se sont posés sur nos mains, nos peaux. Les seules parties qui avaient un quelconque début de ressemblance quant aux nuances de couleur étaient les paumes de nos mains. " Jordan rencontre Kimberly. Il est un jeune informaticien, black, originaire du sud des États-Unis - elle, une artiste-peintre, rousse flamboyante, taches de son et yeux noisette. Mais si, entre eux, l''attraction est forte, les différences et les pressions extérieures le sont encore plus. Et puis il y a les cachotteries des amants, leur peur de s''abandonner et le lot des non-dits, auxquels s''ajoutent les problèmes de mixité et le poids de la tradition... Dans une société gangrenée par le racisme, il est malaisé de s''aimer d''un côté et de l''autre de la barrière raciale.
