Chien jaune

(Author) Martin Amis
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

Xan Meo, fils de gangster devenu acteur et romancier raffiné, se fait violemment agresser et subit une étrange métamorphose... Le roi Henry IX tente d'étouffer un double scandale : sa liaison avec une mystérieuse Chinoise, et une vidéo scabreuse où apparaît l'héritière du trône... Clint Smoker, journaliste à scandale, a des raisons bien personnelles d'aller en Californie interviewer une reine du porno... Et pendant ce temps, le vol 101, réservé aux fumeurs, arrivera-t-il à destination ? En entrecroisant ces histoires, Martin Amis livre une charge féroce contre une Angleterre à peine imaginaire, de Buckingham Palace au Londres de la pègre. Moraliste sans concession, satiriste impitoyable, il prouve surtout une fois de plus sa puissance visionnaire et sa capacité à réinventer la langue en offrant un feu d'artifice stylistique qui brasse tous les parlers. Et ce livre monstre, l'un de ses plus aboutis, résume notre temps comme peu d'œuvres savent le faire.
