The stuff of conspiracy theories makes for great, entertaining stories in movies, books, and television. And there is no shortage of subjects: from who really killed JFK to the truth behind 9/11. And then, there are subjects from alien invasions to the Moon landing was simulated - theories that are truly out of this world, which according to some, is flat. Many of these crazy concepts have jumped off the pages or screens to become so pervasive in our culture that thousands - even millions - subscribe to them as reality.

At long last, America’s most notorious political operative has released his operating manual! A freedom fighter to his admirers, a dirty trickster to his detractors, the flamboyant, outrageous, articulate, and extraordinarily well-dressed Roger Stone lays out Stone’s Rules - the maxims that have governed his legendary career as a campaign operative for four American presidents, from Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump.

Derrière ce titre ironique, Roxane Gay développe une réflexion révolutionnaire et bienvenue sur l'état actuel du féminisme. Lassée des prises de position parfois trop clivantes de certaines organisations féministes, elle rappelle que la défense de l'égalité des sexes ne dispense pas d'assumer ses contradictions.

Ex-maire de Huntingdon et figure publique bien connue, Stéphane Gendron rappelle dans cet ouvrage d’une belle profondeur les événements qui ont contribué à bâtir l’image de l’homme en colère qu’il a longtemps projetée. Issu d’une famille dysfonctionnelle où la violence était omniprésente, Gendron a grandi dans la hantise de la mort, au point où l’urgence de vivre a fini par étouffer sa vie. Emportement, agressivité et dépendance inconsciente au trash ont fait de lui un adepte de la haine et du négativisme.
