THRILLER. Richard Grossman - Editions du Cherche Midi - 2011 - 472 pages.
Clyde Wayne Franklin has spent twenty years behind bars for the murder of his parents. Nicknamed "The man-Alphabet" - his body is completely tattooed with letters - it is the most controversial poet of the United States. When his girlfriend Barbie, a former prostitute who tried to blackmail a senator with presidential ambitions, finds himself in mortal danger, Clyde decides to take matters in hand ... This is the beginning of an investigation very Hitchcockian, where thriller and poetry collide in the slums of Washington DC.
In the Man-Alphabet "poetry is not without horror, nor the cruelty of death. Clyde Wayne Franklin too. A reflection that the rising hero au-dessus de sa condition et fait tomber les masques quand ce dernier déclare : "L'Amérique adore les meurtres, or je suis un meurtrier américain. Si vous voulez faire la une des journaux (ce qui a été mon cas à plusieurs reprises), vous n'avez qu'à détruire quelqu'un avec un minimum d'imagination".
Dans l'Enfer de Dante, il y a des cercles ou des degrés ! Encore une marche à descendre et le lecteur jette un regard curieux, inquiet et horrifié sur ces damnés de la Terre. Dans ce jeu d'embrouille, il arrive qu'on mélange assassins et victimes. Richard Grossman porte un regard cynique et noir qui signe la fin du rêve américain. Il décrit une social jungle where it is no longer understand why an individual removes another? This conundrum is integrated with an action and a description of the world, one and one particularly violent. A text
difficult access prevented me I confess, to go through this book without having a "head on fire" and without the certainty that they are noise and rage that the destiny of the world. An impressionistic look hard to read and easily accessible to the average reader that I represent. I'm sorry the first ...
