> LE MÉDIANOCHE AMOUREUX, contes et nouvelles, de Michel Tournier. — Puisqu'on réunit les amis pour célébrer les mariages, pourquoi ne pas en faire autant pour souligner les désunions ? Avant de se quitter définitivement, Nadège et Oudalle invitent leurs amis pour un dîner d’adieu. Ils s’entendent pour annoncer la « mauvaise » nouvelle à la fin de la nuit seulement. Mais quelqu’un eut l’idée de transformer la nuit en conte, chaque convive y allant du sien, si bien qu’au matin, Nadège et Oudalle avait entendu dix-neuf histoires plus belles les unes que les autres : une profusion de mots qu’ils avaient envie de discuter entre eux. 272 pages. Editions Gallimard.
