En lisant "Ce qu'il me reste d'horizon " je suis tombé amoureux trois fois . La première face à cette sublime peinture de Deanna Staffo qui fait office de couverture et qui sied et sert à merveille le roman . Tout y est dit dans ce visage , cet anachronisme sentimental , celle mélancolie - sourire ,et en cela réside toute la puissance de l'art qui est le plus court chemin de l'homme à l'homme comme l'écrivain si bien Malraux. La seconde revient à ce titre , Ce qu'il reste d'Horizon , qui sonne comme un espoir au milieu d'un vide . Un ascenseur à prendre ou à descendre pour mieux vivre ou espérer ? La blessure de la perte , des banalités d'usage , d'espoirs vains ou d'un au revoir expéditif ? Peut être que ce serait mieux comme ça,sans effusion, rapide et sec : "On retire bien les sparadraps de cette façon pour que ça fasse moins mal." Enfin comment ne pas tomber en émoi devant cette écriture qui submerge tant d'autres? Impossible ici de vous résumer l'inmensurable , cette écume des jours où il est question d'amitiés improbables,de mélancolies quadragénaires,de pertes étoilées , de souffle trop court , de qu'aillent se faire foutre à tout va , de verres de suze, de 13 et demi ,de craies arcs en ciel et j'en passe .... J'attends d'un livre qu'il me tranche la gorge et me ressuscite.... À me sentir vivant ,j'en ai retrouvé l'appétit ! Merci @fredericperrot_ pour cette œuvre qui n'a pas été sans rappeler le désabusement d'un Bukowski , le désespoir d'un Munch et la fantaisie lumineuse et foutraque d'un Vian . Mais au diable les références , le style ( cinématographique ici) est inédit ! À vos lectures ! De ce qu'il reste d'horizon. @fredericperrot_ Editions @mialetbarrault Lire un extrait en commentaire #livre #livreaddict #bookstagram #books #fredericperrot #livredumoment #lecturedumoment #lectureaddict
