wow.

edit:
Quelque jours plus tard.

Si le roman capture l'imagination avec ses tableaux apocalyptiques, sa violence, et son language biblique ; il est de mon opinion qu'il peut être qualifié de chef d'oeuvre pour ses zones d'ombres inexpugnables, parce que quelque part entre le mythe et le surréalisme, McCarthy capture l'indicible confusion de l'existence et l'origine libidinale d'une nation offrant peut-être aux États-Unis leur *Odyssée*.
