Man-Alphabet Richard GROSSMAN
A thriller writing feverish ends up tired.
Clyde Wayne Franklin has any passion for a U.S. company eager to spectacular: it is both a murderer and poet. Sentenced for the murder of his father (and perhaps also that of his mother), he spent twenty years behind bars, the time to become a huge controversial poet and transform his body into very purpose of poetry: all letters of the alphabet (except two) are tattooed. So it became a free man, he received the call with Barbie, his girlfriend, an ex-prostitute embedded in a story of blackmail involving nearly a senator who has the wind in their sails. But the thread of the story is as short-circuited by another voice, that of a strange clown, sort of double delusional Clyde that appears when it is the victim of one of his many blackout . The clown brings to consciousness snippets of childhood Clyde, her violent father, her mother's passivity and worrying that sex games they were engaged to their son. The text then seems to explode, taking the letters (in a remarkable exercise in typography) power in a strange way.
All the ingredients were there to make this book a great thriller, but unfortunately I missed. By trying to lose readers in the spirit bubble and unbridled character, GROSSMAN finally tired. So yes, it is original, the writing is of incredible density but, and it is here that I think is a little bored and what at first seemed to become incredibly powerful, once spent half the book, tedious. The fact remains that we sometimes dizzy (which in itself is rather successful) against the torrents of words that spill out onto the pages. And if I recognize the undeniable qualities of the work of writing, unfortunately I can not say the same of the rest of the book. Too bad because, once again, it was pretty well gone.
The book is not without its defenders, like Keisha or Marianne . While for
Library , Doriane and Mic , opinions are very mixed. We do
thanks not least to the extent Blog-O-Book editions and Le cherche midi.
