P hilippe Besson had accustomed us to get out a novel every year, where we had to wait two to discover Back among men. We could therefore expect a refined work, a little less hasty. It is not. To ask whether this long period of time is not simply the sign of a lack of inspiration, a kind of fuel. This last issue, unlike the promises of the 4 th coverage is not a " beautiful book, both serious and light [...] a heartbreaking love song to the glory of the missing " is a novel wheezy in which words s'ordonnancent clinically without causing any emotion that arouses some interest that, from his second third, with guest star appearance in Raymond Radiguet. Otherwise you get bored, to be polite ...
However, I do not deny that there is a real work from the author. It seemed to me to find two anachronisms, checks made, were not. However, there are some inaccuracies that make the reader wince a few pages later and force him to go back and see if he was not mistaken. For example, how the narrator can suffer from the language barrier in New York, while we applaud the way he filled the questionnaire immigration?
It goes to the end, because it's Besson, because we remember the wonderful time we did spend with some of his previous titles, but it was before. Provided it comes back with the next book! We are ready to give him another chance, if not insignificant for a sequel to a novel that was sufficient in itself and does not deserve that spot as a final point.
