Sixteen-year-old Nathalie Baudin writes the daily morgue column for Le Petit Journal. Her job is to summarize each day’s new arrivals, a task she finds both fascinating and routine.

C'est presque sans hésiter que l'on peut transposer dans cette lecture l'expérience des milieux du théâtre comme du Music Hall de Colette. Toby-Chien passerait pour un de ces personnages qui hantent les coulisses toujours en quête d'une émotion, d'un regard, et Kiki-la-Doucette, en vedette incontestée, fait souffrir de son mieux son admirateur le plus fervent, quitte à le perdre...

"Document sonore brut, nous avons choisi de ne pas remonter en studio cette conversation d'Arletty avec Marc Laudelout, afin de restituer le plus fidèlement possible la fraîcheur et l'authenticité de la rencontre entre le journaliste et la grande actrice - mythique s'il en est - de l'âge d'or du cinéma français. Marc Laudelout réussit avec perfection à nous faire partager une Arletty intime, généreuse, pleine d'esprit."

Raymond Queneau (1903-1976) fait partie de ces écrivains inclassables. Tour à tout surréaliste, puis s'épanouissant dans un style plus personnel, il ne cesse d'enchanter et de faire rêver. Avec Pierrot mon ami, il se livre à un exercice de style, distillant jeux de mots, traits d'esprits et dérivés de langage , le tout mêlé à une histoire rocambolesque de voyage libérateur dans une France revisitée. Publié en 1942, ce roman est donc une métaphore de la liberté dont sont privés ses contemporains, et une fable dynamique, qui ne se pose toutefois jamais en moralisatrice.

Public City/Public Sex examines how the notion that male sexual desire required suitable outlets shaped urban policing and development. Ross traces the struggle to control sex in public and argues that it was the very effort to police the city that created new opportunities for women who sold sex and men who sought sex with other men. Placing public sex at the center of urban history, Ross shows how those who used public spaces played a central role in defining the way the city was understood.
