Critiques

L'amour des Maytree par Annie Dillard

Je déteste les romans d'amour bucoliques, lyriques qui se déroulent dans une cabane en bois sur une plage de sable fin... sauf que je ne connaissais pas Annie Dillard. Elle m'a convaincue.

80 pages de prologue, aujourd'hui c'est de l'audace. Oui c'est lent, oui c'est sentimental. Rien n'est laissé au hasard, elle a choisi chaque phrase, soupesé chaque mot. Flaubert aurait salué un tel travail d'orfèvre.

Un roman immense, intemporel sur le sujet le plus rebattu : l'amour.

Convertissez-vous à Annie Dillard !… (plus d'informations)
