Tuesday's books - Alexandre W\u00e4lti<\/em><\/p>\n

And yet the request was simple: a novel that's hard to put down and that's not a thriller. Nothing exceptional, it's true. We just had to avoid the classic pattern of murder, investigation and assassin. It didn't fall on deaf ears, because the bookseller, as soon as these words came out of my mouth, immediately chose the novel. Bufo and Spallanzani<\/em>. Without saying too many words, just what was needed, the context and a few details about Rubem Fonseca's piquant writing. I was convinced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Reading begins as soon as you get home. The first pages reveal a character to whom Tolstoy, Nabokov, Flaubert, Saint-John Perse, Moravia, Maupassant, Simenon and Baudelaire appear one after the other, or to whom he appeals for no real reason. Ivan Canabrava is the writer who plans to write Bufo and Spallanzani<\/em>, who quotes the author of the novel in which he appears, saying after the (un)fortunate explosion of a water heater:<\/p>\n

\u00abI think it was on that day, when I realized the superiority of a hard-on over pain, that I decided to write... Bufo and Spallanzani<\/em>.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00abWhat a joke,\u00bb I said to myself, feeling as if I'd been duped. What is this novel? The question becomes more acute on reading the second chapter. Guedes appears in the middle of a crime scene. The stereotypical dirty cop who \u00abonly owned an old suit, which he never wore, so old that it had already gone out of fashion and come back in fashion several times.\u00bb Colombo! I said no investigation! In the same place, Delfina Delamare, wife of billionaire Eug\u00eanio Delamare, is found dead in her car. No murder either! The investigation begins. But of course!<\/p>\n

So we have four characters and a murder right from the start, just like any good thriller. Everything I didn't ask for! Did the bookseller misunderstand me? What's more, as the story unfolds, another murder conceals the first, and new potential defendants crop up by the dozen. This makes the initial nod to Tolstoy all the more understandable, since the Russian author was never short of characters in his writings.<\/p>\n

L’enqu\u00eate d\u00e9bute mais ne termine jamais, comme l’\u00e9criture de Bufo and Spallanzani<\/em> by Ivan Canabrava. The same title as the book we're reading. As if the reader were fully participating in the novel. Moreover, the investigations are constantly interrupted by Rubem Fonseca's ramblings. One time, Ivan's \u00abdark past\u00bb is detailed. Another time, a hippie, Minolta, enters his life and changes him completely. The next time, he isolates himself at the Pic-de-l'Epervier refuge to finish his novel.<\/p>\n

Ces digressions continuelles sont d\u2019abord intempestives. Elles irritent m\u00eame le lecteur avant que ce dernier ne se rende enfin compte de la farce qu\u2019il est en train de lire et de vivre. J’ai continu\u00e9 le roman jusqu\u2019au bout avec beaucoup de rires impr\u00e9vus, donc quelques moments de solitude dans les transports publics. L\u00e0 est tout l\u2019art de Rubem Fonseca! Utiliser le drame et les codes du roman policier pour les rendre dr\u00f4les. Parodier le rythme d\u2019un polar pour rendre l\u2019histoire passionnante. L\u2019auteur brille dans cet exercice qu\u2019il renouvelle \u00e0 l\u2019infini sans jamais lasser le lecteur. Il profite toutefois de pointer vivement du doigt avec intelligence et ironie certains dysfonctionnements du pouvoir br\u00e9silien.<\/p>\n

Je comprends mieux pourquoi l’on m\u2019a conseill\u00e9 ce roman! Il valait effectivement la peine rien que pour l\u2019\u00e9pisode absurde de l\u2019interrogatoire du principal accus\u00e9 du meurtre de Delfina Delamare dans un caf\u00e9 de Rio de Janeiro, dont voici le d\u00e9but:<\/p>\n

\u00abThe next day, he arrived even earlier than usual at XIVth<\/sup>. He went to the depot. It was a large cell crowded with inmates. Agenor was lying on a small mattress, covered with a thin gray blanket. He was still asleep.
\n\u201cTake Agenor to my office,\u201c said Guedes to the guard.
\nAgenor entered Guedes' office with a yawn.
\n\u201cDid you sleep well?\" asked Guedes.
\n- I slept. I was very tired,\" says Agenor.
\n- How did it go? The cell isn't too full?
\n- Yes, but the guys are nice, we work things out, nobody argues, you know how it is, when everyone pitches in, things always get better.
\n- Yes, I see they're nice, they've even got you a mattress. Shall we go for a coffee?\u201c
\nThe other policemen saw Guedes go out with the prisoner, but the filthy cop was too respected for anyone to stop him, or even criticize him.
\nThey had a coffee on Ata\u00falfo de Paiva Avenue.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just goes to show: trust the booksellers! An excellent conclusion. And why is that? Because all you have to do is walk into a bookshop, the Boutique du Livre in Neuch\u00e2tel, give two reading criteria and you've discovered an author with a playful pen: Rubem Fonseca.<\/p>\n
