Musée britannique
Après "Reine d’Angleterre", traduit du norvégien par Emmanuel Reymond en 2020, "Musée britannique" est le deuxième livre de Jørn H. Sværen à paraître chez Eric Pesty Editeur. Comme "Reine d’Angleterre", "Musée britannique" se présente comme une succession de pièces de formats variables, enchaînant courts essais en prose, extraits de correspondance et poèmes réduits à leur minimum : un ou quelques vers isolés sur la page. La beauté du livre tient précisément à cet enchevêtrement, cette façon à la fois délicate et fragile d’associer les textes comme autant de pièces d’un puzzle.
