Son professeur ne le ménageait pas. Val recevait une série de bleus pour lui rappeler chacune de ses erreurs. Par contre, pour ce qui était de la séance du matin, Val faisait d’importants progrès. Le colibri, bien que toujours présent à chaque séance, ne lui avait plus donné de coup de main. Il se débrouillait seul.

Un conte d'amour sublimement fou. « L’âme d’une passion amoureuse se réincarne en une femme et un homme pour glorifier une légende damnée. Un mystérieux témoin nous dévoile tout l’horrible et le poétique de ce conte d’amour sublimement fou. » Comme un jeu d’écriture, j’ai fait le choix d’un sujet universel : la rencontre. Poser une loupe sur ce besoin vital d’être soi-même, dans sa propre vie, d’aimer et être aimé par celui, celle qui nous est vraiment destiné. C’est une mise à nu de l’âme tantôt légère, toujours authentique, parfois sévère et crue qui redonne à l’homme son côté animal, qui broie les corps et les sentiments dans un univers charnel qu’on aimerait traverser un jour, mais dont on redoute tant les conséquences… Plongez dans un roman qui pose une loupe sur le moment de la rencontre, et propose une mise à nu de l'âme tantôt, toujours authentique, parfois sévère et crue.

J’avais pour elle une affection naïve que je ressentais dès que je venais la chercher dans le garage. J’étais le seul à fréquenter cette voiture.

Je jetais toujours un regard sur l’intérieur ; comme je le fais au présent dans cette pièce blanche qui absorbe mes souffles et nos derniers soupirs… CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Voici un roman "extra"ordinaire ...Le début est doux mais vous entraîne sans le savoir dans un récit passionnant. Sans rien vous en dévoiler, je peux vous dire qu'il m'a bouleversée, avec des idées fortes, bousculant tout les poncifs sur la bonne moralité , vous secouant physiquement. L'écrit est tellement teinté de poésie douce et de passion folle qu'on le vit littéralement. Troublée, amusée, dérangée par cette histoire " hors normes", je n'ai qu'un mot à vous dire : lisez le absolument ! - Jeannedoc24, Babelio À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Matthieu Becker est né chauve, édenté, en plein midi dans le nord et grandit vite.

Entre une fusillade, une extraterrestre et une invasion mondiale, on ne sait plus où donner de la tête ! Ce jour-là, je buvais tranquillement un kawa en terrasse, quand une fusillade m'est tombée sur le coin du museau. C'est déjà pas banal, mais si j'avais deviné la tournure que ça allait prendre ! Parce que là mon coco, c'est du lourd ! Je vais rencontrer des êtres venus d'ailleurs, mais je t'assure que ceux-ci ne sont pas piqués des hannetons ! Complètement cinglés, les machins ! Mais malgré tout, il y en a une qui me fera perdre la raison et adhérer à son sombre dessein. Pourquoi ? Parce que je suis resté humain, mes amis... Des aliens, du sexe, une invasion mondiale, et beaucoup d'humour... Mathieu Blaron signe ici un deuxième roman déjanté, un joyeux bordel à découvrir d'urgence ! EXTRAIT Je file chez oim prendre une ptiote shower, me remettre un peu de mes émotions, puis enfiler une babiole plus confortable. Je tube au resto pour réserver une table. Après avoir réglé ces menus détails, tout est bueno, il est l’heure d’y aller. J’arpente les couloirs du tromé avec une joie non dissimulée. Une enfilade grande classe dans un endroit hors du commun suivi d’un rencart sympatoche me file la patate ! De plus, l’établissement où nous allons grailler prépare d’excellents petits plats des familles, sans être prout-prout le moins du monde. J’aime manger à la bonne franquette. Les chichis des restos grand luxe m’attristent autant qu’une émission de télé-réalité ! Tout ce cinéma pour avoir dans son assiette deux malheureux morceaux d’on ne sait quoi... C’est vraiment de la guignolade pur jus ! J’ai envie d’en avoir pour mon pognon quand je vais bouffer, et pas d’avoir trois pingouins qui matent chacun de mes faits et gestes, en étant entouré de vieux richards, et manger de la cuisine moléculaire où je ne sais trop quel esbroufe pour vieux con mal embouché ! J’arrive « Chez Raymond ». Raymond, le taulier des lieux, est un bon gaillard d’une soixantaine d’années et d’une centaine de kilos, à la moustache broussailleuse et à l’œil vif. Sympathique et jovial, il sait accueillir dignement les clients tout en supervisant les cuisines d’une main de maître, et de plus, il compose des recettes simples mais de bon goût, qui font la joie de celui qui sait s’aventurer dans cette petite ruelle sombre où se trouve cet établissement atypique, majoritairement composé d’autochtones connaissant les délices que prépare ce brave gazier. J’entre, m’annonce et on me signale que ma dorénavant partenaire poirote de pied ferme en sirotant un kir (bon c’est vrai, je brode un chouïa, mais c’est ma grand-mère couturière qui me l’a appris !). Je l’aperçois, assise, bouquinant un excellent Jean-Christophe Grangé.
