Debéctant et incernable (péjoratif <3), même si Vian écrit bien.

Quant à son fond même, il faut y voir une manifestation du goût de la vengeance, chez une race encore, quoi qu'on en dise, brimée et terrorisée [...] (Préface de Vian)

Même en prenant en compte le contexte historique du livre, l'espèce de pornographie littéraire (p.ex: la litanie de moments misogynes et pédophiles) que c'était était difficile à lire. Ok pour l'absurdisme et des personnages absolument immoraux, mais il manquait un élément pour que l'histoire puisse devenir autre chose qu'une sombre fantaisie jouissive.

Je me suis accrochée car je souhaitais découvrir où le livre voulait en venir mais la violence des propos m'en a découragée

pianofromthelibrary's review against another edition

Multiple scenes of the main character assaulting young, underage girls, with the final straw being a graphic scene of him raping an 8-year-old girl. I don't know if I will be able to finish this book knowing that it gets even more graphic, violent and cruel towards women. This book is praised for its discussion of racism and anti-black violence, but there are so many better and more nuanced books that discuss those same themes and are written by black authors so you don't have to do this to yourself. Trust me, the graphic, cruel and apathetic violence against girls and women described in this book will stick with you more than any commentary the author may have had on racism
