Новинки Иэна Рейда

Ближайшее будущее. Джуниор и Генриетта ведут комфортную, но одинокую жизнь на одной из последних оставшихся в Америке ферм. Однажды их размеренное существование нарушает незнакомец, представитель крупной компании OuterMore. Выясняется, что Джуниор был отобран в группу, которой предстоит отправиться за пределы Земли. А чтобы Генриетта могла справиться с делами по ферме и не страдать от одиночества, компания делает супругам очень странное предложение, которое звучит страшнее и необычнее, чем будущее путешествие Джуниора. И отказаться от этого предложения невозможно.

Avons-nous vraiment notre libre-arbitre ?

Dans un futur proche, Junior et Henrietta vivent dans une ferme isolée, semblant fuir leurs congénères. Lorsqu'un homme en costume-cravate frappe à leur porte, ils sont loin d'imaginer ce qu'il vient leur annoncer : Junior a été sélectionné par la société OuterMore pour un séjour expérimental dans une station spatiale. En son absence, un avatar biomécanique prendra sa place au sein du foyer.
L'émissaire d'OuterMore s'installe donc chez le couple afin d'y mener l'étude préliminaire à la conception de ce " remplaçant ". Mais, très vite, l'intrus se fait de plus en plus envahissant et les sautes d'humeur de Henrietta plus fréquentes...

*Now a major motion picture starring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal*

A taut, psychological thriller from Iain Reid, “one of the most talented purveyors of weird, dark narratives in contemporary fiction” (Los Angeles Review of Books).

Severe climate change has ravaged the country, leaving behind a charred wasteland. Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable if solitary life on one of the last remaining farms. Their private existence is disturbed the day a stranger comes to the door with alarming news.

Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm, but the most unusual part is that arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won’t have a chance to miss him. She won’t be left alone—not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company

Tendu, atmosphérique et minimaliste, à la frontière du thriller et du roman d'anticipation, Le Remplaçant questionne l'identité et le libre arbitre, et devrait séduire les fans de Philip K. Dick et de Stephen King.

Un film inspiré du livre est en cours de production avec Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal et LaKeith Stanfield dans les rôles principaux. Publié sous le titre original Foe par Simon & Schuster Canada. Traduit de l’anglais (Canada) par Valérie Malfoy.

Iain Reid est un auteur canadien. Son premier roman Je sens grandir ma peur rencontra un vif succès et fut adapté en film par Netflix en 2020. Son nouveau roman Le Remplaçant est en cours d’adaptation.

Penny, an artist, has lived in the same apartment for decades, surrounded by the artifacts and keepsakes of her long life. She is resigned to the mundane rituals of old age, until things start to slip. Before her longtime partner passed away years earlier, provisions were made for a room in a unique long-term care residence, where Penny finds herself after one too many “incidents.”

Initially, surrounded by peers, conversing, eating, sleeping, looking out at the beautiful woods that surround the house, all is well. She even begins to paint again. But as the days start to blur together, Penny—with a growing sense of unrest and distrust—starts to lose her grip on the passage of time and on her place in the world. Is she succumbing to the subtly destructive effects of aging or is she an unknowing participant in something more unsettling?

At once compassionate and uncanny, told in spare, hypnotic prose, Iain Reid’s “exquisite novel of psychological suspense” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) explores questions of conformity, art, productivity, relationships, and what, ultimately, it means to grow old.

" C'est une nouvelle forme de vie autonome... Un amalgame de vivant et de science. "

Jake and his girlfriend are on a drive to visit his parents at their remote farm. After dinner at the family home, things begin to get worryingly strange. And when he leaves her stranded in a snowstorm at an abandoned high school later that night, what follows is a chilling exploration of psychological frailty and the limitations of reality.

Iain Reids intense, suspenseful debut novel will have readers nerves jangling. A series of tiny clues sprinkled through the relentlessly paced narrative culminate in a haunting twist on the final page.

Джейк вместе со своей подругой едут в гости к его родителям на отдаленную ферму. Поездка с самого начала кажется странной, а девушке кто-то звонит с ее собственного номера и оставляет загадочные сообщения. Но когда пара добирается до цели своего путешествия, все становится только хуже. Мать и отец Джейка ведут себя загадочно, на стене в их доме висит фотография, на которой девушка узнает себя, а в подвале таится что-то страшное. И вскоре события приобретут по-настоящему зловещий оборот, а роман обернется жуткой и мрачной головоломкой, исследующей вопросы сознания, свободы воли и восприятия времени.

We don’t get visitors. Not out here. We never have.

In Iain Reid’s second haunting, philosophical puzzle of a novel, set in the near future, Junior and Henrietta live a comfortable, solitary life on their farm, far from the city lights, but in close quarters with each other. One day, a stranger from the city arrives with alarming news: Junior has been randomly selected to travel far away from the farm...very far away. The most unusual part? Arrangements have already been made so that when he leaves, Henrietta won't have a chance to miss him, because she won't be left alone - not even for a moment. Henrietta will have company. Familiar company.

Told in Reid’s sharp and evocative style, Foe examines the nature of domestic relationships, self-determination, and what it means to be (or not to be) a person. An eerily entrancing pause-resister, it churns with unease and suspense from the first words to its shocking finale.

I’m thinking of ending things. Once this thought arrives, it stays. It sticks. It lingers. It’s always there. Always. Jake once said, “Sometimes a thought is closer to truth, to reality, than an action. You can say anything, you can do anything, but you can’t fake a thought.” And here’s what I’m thinking: I don’t want to be here. In this deeply suspenseful and irresistibly unnerving debut novel, a man and his girlfriend are on their way to a secluded farm. When the two take an unexpected detour, she is left stranded in a deserted high school, wondering if there is any escape at all. What follows is a twisted unraveling that will…

Вот только как это сделать? Она постоянно получает странные, пугающие сообщения от незнакомца. Ей страшно, но она не решается рассказать о нем Джейку. В старом, темном доме в одной из комнат на ферме она увидела фотографию ребенка. На вопрос, кто это, ей ответили, что это Джейк. Но она вдруг понимает: на фото изображена маленькая девочка, и в этой девочке узнает себя. Дальше все становится еще непонятнее и страшнее…
