Washington Post humour columnist Alexandra Petri is perhaps America’s most beloved political satirist. Her new, side-splitting work of historical humour uses imagined documents to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation’s complicated past. From the Spanish conquistadors to the Salem witch trials, from Paul Revere’s ride to the exclamation mark in Oklahoma!, Alexandra Petri’s U.S. History presents a deranged timeline in which John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, Nicola Tesla’s friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Petri’s “historical fan fiction” shows why she has been hailed as “genius,”* a “national treasure”** and “one of the funniest writers alive.”*** *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt **Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey *** Randall Munroe

As a columnist for The Washington Post, Alexandra Petri has watched in real time as those who didn’t learn from history have been forced to repeat it. And repeat it. And repeat it. If we repeat history one more time, we’re going to fail! Maybe it’s time for a new textbook. Alexandra Petri’s US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri’s "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation’s complicated past. On Petri’s deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Ayn Rand rewrites The Little Engine That Could. Nikola Tesla’s friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. This side-splitting work of historical humour shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius,"* a "national treasure,"† and "one of the funniest writers alive"‡. *Olivia Nuzzi, Katha Pollitt †Julia Ioffe, Katy Tur, John Scalzi, Chuck Wendig, Jamil Smith, and Susan Hennessey ‡Randall Munroe

C' tait surtout une femme rieuse et aimante, tr s dou e pour cr er de la vie autour d'elle. Mais qui donc crit dans les cahiers de Lida ? Entre r cit et fiction, ce roman questionne ce qui fait la valeur d'une vie et ce qui fait crire. Il existe aussi en version num rique. Colette Cambier est belge. Elle a anim des ateliers d' criture pendant vingt-cinq ans. Ses romans mettent en sc ne des histoires de vie et des sagas familiales sur fond socio-historique.
