Summary:
"Le zombie, bien sûr, c'est mon Nicolas qui se tient au centre du cercle de la cour du rocher, à genoux, courbé, rachitique, sa colonne dessinant un z, tordue comme le dos flagellé d'un martyr, semblant servir de paratonnerre à l'orage qui tarde à venir, à la colère de l'internat, sa république d'enfants cruels. Mon Nicolas avec sa morphologie bizarre, dérangeante, exposée aux yeux de tous, créature qu'on pensait éteinte, disparue dans les forêts de Lituanie et de Pologne avec les golems et les dibbouks". Automne 1989. Après l'accident de voiture qui a coûté la vie à sa mère, un collégien en perte de repères intègre avec son petit frère un pensionnat pour familles riches, perché sur les flancs d'une montagne. Plus rien ne sera comme avant. Entre éclairs de tendresse et débordements de cruauté, ce roman singulier et mélancolique est une chronique bouleversante de l'adolescence. --Publisher's website.
"The zombie, of course, is my Nicolas who stands in the center of the circle of the courtyard of the rock, kneeling, bent, rickety, his spine drawing a z, twisted like the flagellated back of a martyr, seeming to serve lightning rod to the storm that is slow to come, to the anger of the boarding school, its republic of cruel children. the forests of Lithuania and Poland with golems and dibbuks". Autumn 1989. After the car accident which cost the life of his mother, a college student losing his bearings integrates with his little brother a boarding school for rich families, perched on the sides of a mountain. Nothing will be like before. Between flashes of tenderness and outbursts of cruelty, this singular and melancholic novel is a moving chronicle of adolescence. --Publisher's website.
