Synopsis "La Maison aux Lilas"

This collection of twenty-seven intense short stories, born from the author's imagination, is also inspired by his life experiences. Through his keen sense of observation and his lively sense of humour, Henrie manages to give each text a unique resonance and authenticity that transcend the ordinary. These qualities permeate the work through a range of themes, from church pews, college life, and romantic encounters to foreign travel and genetic makeup. In his characteristically light tone, Henrie shares tales of offbeat scenes-such as the time when the discovery of a glass eye on a sidewalk disrupted the life of an elderly aunt. Yet he also draws us into more introspective stories. There is the absurd journey of a group of friends, for example, who embark on a long race only to realize, suddenly, that they forgot to set a goal, estimate the time needed, or even clearly define their destination. Other stories speak of solitude, boredom, and confinement. This collection of short stories, which challenge the reader and seek his participation, is part of the long cycle of stories upon which the author embarked more than twenty years ago. This book is published in French. - Une grossesse mysterieuse, des balades journalieres au cimetiere, des amours passageres, un oeil de verre, une amante qu'il faut deviner, un bourreau au doigte particulier et une maison aux lilas bien intrigante : ce ne sont que des apercus de ce recueil. Dans ces 27 nouvelles inedites, breves, douces ou intenses, Maurice Henrie passe de l'insolite au familier, brouille les frontieres de la fiction et de son vecu et, avec son naturel habituel pour l'humour et la narration, nous amene a rire autant qu'a reflechir. Est-on plus libre lorsqu'on defie les interdits pour ensuite se trouver lie par les chaines de la culpabilite ? Quel sens porte une vie menee avec tiedeur ? Faut-il compatir ou rire en suivant Hormidas, cet homme intelligent et devoue, mais laid et sans charisme ? Peut-on se laisser porter par la paix qui emane des lieux de culte religieux ? Est-il possible de completer une courtepointe d'ADN, en assemblant des morceaux de vies du passe ? Maurice Henrie pose ces questions, et tant d'autres encore, en nous invitant a y repondre. Ce livre est publie en francais.
