Coeur de pierre

Rate this book
Leïla, une lycéenne ardente et audacieuse, troublée par un cours de philosophie sur les âmes et les sorts, décide de tout quitter, famille, études, banlieue, pour partir sur les routes. Schulz, un homme errant, au bout du rouleau, entraîne la jeune fille dans une fatale randonnée. Il y a aussi Ellen, belle Irlandaise, Juliette, comédienne en quête d'un rôle, Mahler, psychanalyste détraqué, et Larsen, le romancier aux prises avec l'une de ses créatures... Qui manipule ces personnages ? Seule Mémé la Noire, la "femme oracle", connaît le secret des destins croisés. Roman captivant, Coeur de pierre est aussi un récit ironique et métaphysique, qui parle de la fatalité, de l'incertitude des relations entre les hommes et des pouvoirs de l'écriture.

Роман о творческих муках:
«...да, это люди, не персонажи… вы их используете. Наверное, для того, чтобы писать, надо иметь черствое сердце…»
