Les lettres romandes du mardi - Loris S. Musumeci<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00abMathias loved life, but shied away from anything that gave it a sweet or consoling flavour. Girls and jazz attracted him more for their rough mystery than for their easy beauty, and if he flitted only briefly into the camp of fragile conquests, it was because he was still afraid of being consumed by them. A part of him had become distrustful and loathed the abandonment that consumes. He could tell he was a charmer, but he thought he owed his attraction to the originality of his ideas, not the finesse of his features. His ego and successes fooled him. He was just an endearing simpleton when he thought he was a profound reasoner.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Mathias Alkan. Un jeune homme simple. Certes un peu r\u00eaveur, certes r\u00e9volt\u00e9, certes passionn\u00e9, certes talentueux, mais banal. Enfant, il est la joie de ses parents. Adolescent, il est bon \u00e9tudiant. Il tombe amoureux, fr\u00e9quente, \u00e9choue et se d\u00e9sole. Jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la d\u00e9pression. On l\u2019emm\u00e8ne \u00e0 Sils-Maria dans les Grisons chez une amie de sa m\u00e8re pour qu\u2019il reprenne force et sant\u00e9. Le jeune y rencontre Eva, une fille accueillie dans la demeure, portant en son corps la lourdeur d\u2019une maladie autrement plus grave, qui plus est d\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e9rescente.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0La jeune fille dans le fauteuil avait un visage d\u2019ange, frange blonde l\u00e9chant un front gracieux, grands yeux clairs et rieurs, des pommettes bien visibles sous une peau nacr\u00e9e, des traits r\u00e9guliers, fins, d\u00e9licats et des l\u00e8vres \u00e9troites qui lui donnaient un air un peu hautain qu\u2019adoucissait l\u2019arrondi parfait du menton. A voir sa t\u00eate, on e\u00fbt dit une annonciation. Elle attirait, captait la lumi\u00e8re que son sourire irisait d\u2019une aura apaisante. Mais violent contraste, tout le reste de son corps \u00e9tait contorsionn\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Les deux s\u2019aiment, \u00e0 leur mani\u00e8re, conditionn\u00e9s par le corps trop statique de l\u2019une, par le c\u0153ur trop mouvant de l\u2019autre. Puis les liens s\u2019effilent doucement, sans jamais mourir pour autant. Et le service militaire et l\u2019universit\u00e9. Et d\u2019autres amours, et la gloire. Mathias devient journaliste \u00e0 succ\u00e8s, mais les doutes d\u2019autrefois ressurgissent et la vie du personnage prend un nouveau tournant \u00e0 la recherche de la gr\u00e2ce qui comble et qui n\u00e9cessite n\u00e9anmoins un vide pour entrer en l\u2019homme.<\/p>\n

Un roman \u00e0 caract\u00e8re autobiographique<\/h3>\n

Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lovey n\u2019est pas innocent de son histoire. Non seulement parce qu\u2019il l\u2019a \u00e9crite, mais aussi parce qu\u2019il en a v\u00e9cu des parcelles. Il n\u2019est pas Mathias Alkan, pourtant il le comprend. Ses \u00e9checs, ses d\u00e9sirs et sa r\u00e9alit\u00e9 lui font \u00e9cho. Assur\u00e9ment, La cit\u00e9 lassitude\u00a0<\/em>est un roman \u00e0 caract\u00e8re autobiographique. En effet, l\u2019ouvrage raconte indirectement des \u00e9pisodes de l\u2019existence de Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lovey, haut fonctionnaire valaisan, ancien chef du Service de l\u2019Enseignement, qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9cart\u00e9 de ses responsabilit\u00e9s lors d\u2019un changement de gouvernement. L\u2019\u00e9vocation d\u2019un licenciement v\u00e9cu par le p\u00e8re de Mathias n\u2019est nullement r\u00e9ductible \u00e0 une sorte de vengeance mal plac\u00e9e ; elle ouvre la voie \u00e0 une r\u00e9flexion fine et magnifiquement \u00e9crite sur la perte d\u2019emploi.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Vient ce jour funeste o\u00f9 un sinistre commandeur signifie que l\u2019on n\u2019a plus besoin de nos mots ni de nos bras. On est surnum\u00e9raire. Ce n\u2019est pas un manque qui est reproch\u00e9, mais un surplus. On est \u00ab\u00a0de trop\u00a0\u00bb. Le doigt nous montre le n\u00e9cessaire repli. La sortie. Et le signe n\u2019a que l\u2019apparence de l\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9gance. Hier encore on se d\u00e9finissait par ses actes. Ce matin on sirote un caf\u00e9 sans saveur et l\u2019on voit poindre son n\u00e9ant. La solitude ouvre alors son grand livre et c\u2019est par nostalgie que l\u2019on en tourne les pages. Les gens que l\u2019on croise vont au turbin et ils n\u2019ont que faire de notre d\u00e9sarroi. A la boutonni\u00e8re, ils ont des lendemains et des r\u00eaves\u00a0; le \u00ab\u00a0retir\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb, lui, n\u2019a plus que des souvenirs et il devine bien \u00e0 quel point il embarrasse en les \u00e9voquant.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Un style mitig\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Le style de l\u2019ouvrage est extr\u00eamement fourni. On remarque derri\u00e8re la richesse du vocabulaire et des phrases fleuries de lyrisme un homme amoureux des lettres. Le lecteur go\u00fbte tout le roman durant \u00e0 la sauce des classiques qui ont aiguis\u00e9 la plume de l\u2019auteur. En revanche, le texte p\u00e8che fortement sur ses dialogues. C\u2019est d\u2019ailleurs le d\u00e9faut principal de La cit\u00e9 lassitude<\/em>. Les erreurs sont nombreuses du point de vue du naturel qui ne r\u00e9ussit pas \u00e0 transpara\u00eetre malgr\u00e9 la volont\u00e9 apparente de Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Lovey. Il y a trop de d\u00e9calage entre l\u2019utilisation d\u2019un langage soutenu pour certains dialogues et le langage aux allures famili\u00e8res pour d\u2019autres. Et summum de la maladresse\u00a0: les points de suspension, qui pourrissent le rythme des phrases et tachent le papier d\u2019in\u00e9l\u00e9gance.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0\u2013 Bonjour\u2026 Plut\u00f4t re-bonjour\u2026 Nous nous sommes vus d\u00e9j\u00e0. Hier\u2026 Sur la banquise d\u2019abord\u2026 Et puis, le r\u00e9chauffement de la plan\u00e8te aidant, nous nous sommes parl\u00e9s\u2026 Enfin elle surtout\u2026 Et un peu compris, non\u00a0?
\n\u2013 On peut le dire ainsi\u2026 J\u2019ignorais Monsieur Alkan que vous connaissiez ce cher Pastor. Il m\u2019a dit que vous aviez \u00e9galement \u00e9tudi\u00e9 la philosophie et que vous \u00e9tiez une sorte de\u2026, comment dire,\u2026 de po\u00e8te en qu\u00eate romanesque de v\u00e9rit\u00e9.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

En outre, l\u2019\u00e9criture perd, seulement en de rares passages heureusement, les qualit\u00e9s d\u2019un style raffin\u00e9 et devient pompeuse et lourde \u00e0 la lecture. P\u00e9nible, \u00e0 proprement parler. Ironie du sort ou anticipation de l\u2019auteur \u00e0 cette critique, par deux fois, Mathias re\u00e7oit ce reproche du lyrisme port\u00e9 \u00e0 outrance pour ses \u00e9crits.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0[Ton style] me para\u00eet trop propre. Trop cravat\u00e9\u2026 Depuis quand les rivi\u00e8res mandolinent-elles chez toi\u00a0? Et puis je trouve ton calvaire trop fr\u00e9quentable\u2026 Si j\u2019\u00e9tais ton professeur, je dirais que tu d\u00e9goulines de lyrisme\u2026 Que ton style est plus onctueux que tranchant\u2026 Mais je ne suis que ton coll\u00e8gue\u2026\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sans lassitude<\/h3>\n

Concernant la structure g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du livre, elle jouit d\u2019une grande coh\u00e9rence. Un travail de sens et de fond a \u00e9t\u00e9 op\u00e9r\u00e9 entre synth\u00e8ses et prolongements dans les diff\u00e9rents \u00e9pisodes de la vie de Mathias. De plus, le roman se divise en trois parties orn\u00e9es respectivement d\u2019un \u00e9pigraphe citant Fran\u00e7ois Villon, Guillaume Apollinaire et Simone Weil. Des g\u00e9ants. Et leur phrases s\u2019incarnent v\u00e9ritablement dans les faits racont\u00e9s et le d\u00e9roulement de l\u2019histoire.<\/p>\n

Enfin, le personnage du jeune dandy qu\u2019est Mathias pla\u00eet. Il est attachant, parce que profond\u00e9ment humain. Il est faiblement amoureux, fortement douteux\u00a0; frivoles sont ses espoirs, puissante est son esp\u00e9rance. Et malgr\u00e9 les d\u00e9fauts stylistiques, c\u2019est sans lassitude que l\u2019on entre et que l\u2019on voyage passionn\u00e9ment dans la cit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure de Mathias.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Oui une cit\u00e9. L\u2019\u00e9talement d\u2019une cit\u00e9. Elle cro\u00eet, se complexifie, s\u2019\u00e9tend, s\u2019organise comme des quartiers, s\u2019invente des espaces de respiration, des territoires secrets, elle meurt de br\u00e8ves asphyxies, puis elle rena\u00eet\u2026 apparemment renforc\u00e9e\u2026 Elle accueille. Elle refoule. Elle ing\u00e8re et rejette. Elle a des parties claires et d\u2019autres obscures\u2026 La vie, tout enti\u00e8re, comme une ville\u2026\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
