Someone Else

By: Tonino Benacquista

Who hasn't wanted to become 'someone else'? The person you've always wanted to be ... the person who won't give up half way to your dreams and desires?" "One evening two men who have just met at a Paris tennis club make a bet: they give each other exactly three years to radically alter their lives. Thierry, a picture framer with a steady clientele, has always wanted to be a private investigator. Nicolas is a shy, teetotal executive trying not to fall off the corporate ladder. But becoming someone else is not without risk; at the very least the risk of finding yourself."--BOOK JACKET.

The Thursday Night Men

By: Tonino Benacquista

Three friends meet weekly to commiserate over romantic disasters in “a marvelous novel—light, funny and genuine, while still being quite emotional” (Kirkus Reviews). Every Thursday night at seven o’clock, three men meet in Paris. Each man’s life, story, and situation is as different from the others’ as can be. What unites them is heartache. Trouble, that is, with women. The meetings are held in a spirit of openness and tolerance. In an almost religious silence each man confesses while the others listen. Philippe is a philosopher of repute. Since the woman he considered to be his perfect mate left him, he’s been dating one of the world’s most famous models in an effort to forget. Denis has been working as a waiter for years. Women have lost interest in him entirely and he is in a deep funk because of it. But one day a mysterious woman with a suitcase appears on his doorstep and moves into his living room without explanation, throwing his life into turmoil. Yves is a husband who, after having discovered his wife’s betrayal, refuses to honor any and all forms of faithfulness. He is spending a lifetime’s worth of savings in search of pleasure. In The Thursday Night Men, Tonino Benacquista gives readers a variety of unexpected and amusing perspectives on romance, the relationship between the sexes, and male friendships.

The Family

By: Tonino Benacquista

The story is violent, pacy and full of black humour. Imagine the Soprano family arriving in France, or perhaps better, Ray Liotta, the snitch from ‘Goodfellas’ settling down with his family in a small town in Normandy. Fred’s cover is blown yet again. With the arrival of the shooters from Newark, he returns to the violence he misses so much.

Badfellas

By: Tonino Benacquista

In September to be released as the film THE FAMILY, starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones. Directed by Luc Besson, produced by Martin Scorsese. Fred Blake has moved to Normandy with his dysfunctional family, ostensibly to write a history of the Allied landings.. But Fred’s real name is Giovanni Manzoni - an ex-Mafia boss who has snitched. And his record in other locations under the FBI Witness Protection Program would indicate that his cover is not likely to last very long.

Malavita

A Novel

By: Tonino Benacquista

Imagine The Sopranos transplanted to the French countryside…. This thrillingly comic, internationally bestselling Mafia farce is the inspiration for the major motion picture The Family starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones, and produced by Martin Scorsese. The Blakes are newcomers to a small town in Normandy. Fred is a historian researching the Allied landings, Maggie enjoys charity work, and their kids are looking forward to meeting other teenagers at the local lycée. Or so it seems. In fact, Fred is really Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-goodfella turned stool pigeon who’s been relocated from New Jersey to France by the FBI’s witness protection program. He’s got a two-million-dollar bounty on his head, but he and his family can’t help attracting attention (imagine the Sopranos in Normandy). And when imprisoned mobster Don Mimino gets wind of their location, it’s Mafia mayhem à la Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper, or like The Godfather as if written by Carl Hiaasen. Because while you can take the man out of the Mafia, you can’t take the Mafia out of the man. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Nous étions quatre : Louis avait usé sa vie à Cinecittà, Jérôme voulait conquérir Hollywood, Mathilde avait écrit en vain trente-deux romans d'amour, et moi, Marco, j'aurais fait n'importe quoi - mais n'importe quoi ! - pour devenir scénariste. Même écrire un feuilleton que personne ne verrait jamais. Saga, c'était le titre. Grand prix des lectrices de Elle.

Victor Pigeon

By: Tonino Benacquista

Victor savait perdre avec le sourire. Il pouvait faire des excuses quand, comme tout le monde, il lui arrivait d'aller trop loin. (...) Il aimait écouter les autres, leur consacrer du temps, et savait tantôt donner un conseil, garder un silence complice, ou tendre une main. Victor ne pouvait pas s'en empêcher. C'est pour toutes ces bizarreries que, dans sa classe, on l'appelait Pigeon. Une sombre machination fait accuser injustement Pigeon d'un vol. Il se retrouve, un temps, derrière les barreaux.
