PariZ
Dans un Paris ravagé par l’apocalypse zombie, trois clochards tentent de survivre, tapis dans les souterrains d’une station de métro. La Goutte, vieillard alcoolique au dernier degré, a déjà un pied dans la tombe. La Gâchette, originaire du Mozambique, est un ex-enfant soldat. Quant à La Gobe, jeune teufeur frappé de débilité, il ne doit son salut qu’à Goa, son chien d’attaque et cerveau auxiliaire.
Dans les entrailles de la cité, ils rencontreront deux membres de la Restauration Française, en mission suicide pour un colonel putschiste qui a fait main basse sur l’Assemblée nationale. Si cette paire de nazillons s’imagine pouvoir sauver la ville lumière, les vagabonds poursuivent un objectif plus modeste : renflouer leur stock d’alcool.

Très bonne fiction post-apocalyptique tendance Zombies dans un Paris bien écrit pour les amoureux de Panam'... Quelques petites fautes de goût sur certain aspects militaires/armes (Mais rien de bien grave...) et une très bonne description du métropolitain. Cela aurait pu donné un truc à la Glukhowski, mais on a évité l'écueil d'être trop ressemblant et c'est très bien ainsi !
Bonne lecture pour ma part !

Très à propos en cette période de confinement. Un délicieux mélange de sujets sérieux et de délires crypto zombie.

PariZ, the author's first novel, does not seek to renew the genre of zombie novels, but succeeds brilliantly in distinguishing itself from other works on the subject on several points.
Firstly, the heroes are not really heroes: three tramps and a dog hiding under the subways to escape from a Paris totally infested with the living dead. And our friends' only concern is to find something to drink!
Secondly, the author tells us about the city and its history with strikingly realistic details through the characters' travels under and through Paris. For regulars, it is not uncommon to read a passage about a neighbourhood we know well, which reinforces the sense of realism of the story being told.
Thirdly, Rodolphe Casso embellishes his story with several side stories: the regular coming and going of a helicopter flying over the capital, not in search of survivors but of the living dead. But also the crossing of Paname seen through a zombie looking for the living.
At the end of each chapter, we want only one thing: to turn the page and immediately plunge into the next, and when the last page of the novel arrives before our eyes, it is with a certain nostalgia that we leave the reading.
It's because I liked them, those tramps and their Amstaff!
In short, PariZ is a real success that I place without hesitation on the same level as La Nuit A Dévoré Le Monde by Martin Page or Un Horizon De Cendres by Jean-Pierre Andrevon.
Until now, I had two reference books on zombies. Here is the third one.
