Adrienne
1720-talets Frankrike. Landets älskade skådespelerska Adrienne Lecouvreur står i centrum. När denna möter greve Moritz av Sachse växer kärleken mellan dem, men ger också upphov till dödliga intriger kring det älskande paret. "Adrienne" är en historisk skildring av en passionerad romans och samtidigt en levande gestaltning av personerna som står i händelsernas mitt. Miljöerna skiftar mellan det franska hovet med en ung Ludvig VX och hans lärare, till teaterlivet med dess vänskap och svartsjuka. Det är en berättelse präglat av grevinnor och hertiginnor, krigare och konstnärer, och författare som Voltaire. Välkända historiska gestalter som kommer till liv i författarens skildring. -

With Their Hearts in Their Boots
A raucous, macabre tale of failure from the filmmaker-turned-writer whose work has garnered cultish attention in recent years Georges Maman is a down-and-out actor sinking into despair and no longer able to scrape by, failing to make his mark even in the porno industry; Dagonard is a loudmouthed camera assistant who executes his refusal to read a room with almost surgical skill. Their paths cross one evening in a bar, and the two proceed to share a night in Paris: drink, dinner and psychological torture. Drawing from his own aborted career as an assistant director in the film industry, Jean-Pierre Martinet’s last novel (before he quit writing) describes a sordid, cynical and disturbingly humorous descent into the hell of failure and the company we keep there. With Their Hearts in Their Boots is joined by “At the Back of the Courtyard on the Right,” an equally dark and lengthy poetic essay inspired by the work of Henri Calet, a kindred literary spirit whose dimmed star Martinet helped
