B\u00e9do. Boulot. Stylo. Ainsi pourrait-on r\u00e9sumer le quotidien du h\u00e9ros de La Sainte Touche<\/em>, le premier roman de Djamel Cherigui. Ce n\u00e9ophyte des lettres, \u00e9picier \u00e0 Roubaix, retrace les d\u00e9boires d\u2019un jeune homme, ayant fui sa famille, aux prises avec ses obsessions: l\u2019\u00e9criture, les drogues (alcool et cannabis) et la survie. C\u2019est sa rencontre avec Alain Basile, patron de l\u2019\u00e9picerie La Belle Saison, qui bouleversera son existence et lui permettra de se reprendre en mains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pr\u00e9cisons. En plus de son travail \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9picerie, Alain Basile est entrepreneur dans un \u00abbizness\u00bb pas tr\u00e8s l\u00e9gal pour gagner un paquet d\u2019argent: il livre des colis de drogue \u00e0 des trafiquants ou consommateurs, arnaque les locataires de son immeuble\u2026 Et trouve en la personne de ce jeune homme, qu\u2019il surnomme \u00abl\u2019artiste\u00bb, un bon associ\u00e9 pour faire le sale boulot \u00e0 sa place. Alain Basile, c\u2019est un peu la figure paternelle de substitution du personnage principal. Un dur \u00e0 cuire qui conna\u00eet \u00abla vraie vie\u00bb, la dure, celle des gens qui se battent tous les jours, et qui tente d\u2019initier son prot\u00e9g\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00abla loi de la jungle\u00bb. De la po\u00e9sie, de la litt\u00e9rature ou du farniente<\/em>, Alain Basile n\u2019en a cure. Lui, ce qui le passionne, ce sont les chiffres. \u00abFaire de l\u2019oseille\u00bb, comme on dit dans le jargon. Il n\u2019aime pas les branleurs, les assist\u00e9s et les imp\u00f4ts\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abTu sais c\u2019est quoi le probl\u00e8me dans notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9? Je vais te l\u2019dire moi (il se r\u00e9pondait \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame): la bact\u00e9rie, le virus, j\u2019irais m\u00eame jusqu\u2019\u00e0 dire le cancer\u2026 oui, c\u2019est \u00e7a, le cancer de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9\u2026 c\u2019est le d\u00e9faitisme! Oui, voil\u00e0, bordel de merde! Le d\u00e9faitisme! Les gens subissent un \u00e9chec, accusent un contrecoup, endurent une petite d\u00e9convenue, et \u00e7a y est, c\u2019est le drame, y a plus personne, ils se couchent, s\u2019allongent, ils baissent les bras.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La d\u00e9brouille contre le d\u00e9faitisme <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019histoire, qui se d\u00e9roule dans une ville fran\u00e7aise proche de la Belgique (Roubaix?), d\u00e9veloppe un sujet classique: la naissance d\u2019un \u00e9crivain qui, apr\u00e8s bien des gal\u00e8res, \u00e9crit le livre que l\u2019on tient entre les mains. Classique, simple, efficace. Le sc\u00e9nario n\u2019est pas des plus novateurs, mais \u00e7a marche. Pourquoi? On s\u2019identifie \u00e0 ce jeune paum\u00e9 qui, au fond, n\u2019a pas eu de chance (et n\u2019a pas cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 la saisir). Ayant fugu\u00e9 du domicile familial, le h\u00e9ros doit apprendre l\u2019art de la d\u00e9brouille par ses propres moyens. Du r\u00e9cit comique et d\u00e9jant\u00e9, La Sainte Touche <\/em>se r\u00e9v\u00e8le roman d\u2019apprentissage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patron de l\u2019\u00e9picerie Le Parvis de Roubaix<\/a>, Djamel Cherigui dresse un portrait de quelques individus d\u00e9class\u00e9s dans cette \u00abFrance p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique\u00bb, selon l\u2019expression du g\u00e9ographe Christophe Guilluy. La France des villes moyennes et des banlieues oubli\u00e9es par les m\u00e9tropoles et la mondialisation. Cette France peupl\u00e9e d\u2019individus qui r\u00eavent d\u2019une vie meilleure et qui ont recours \u00e0 toutes les astuces, notamment au syst\u00e8me D, pour s\u2019en sortir. A ce sujet, le titre du r\u00e9cit s\u2019av\u00e8re \u00e9clairant: la \u00abSainte Touche\u00bb d\u00e9signe le jour des allocations. La bonne aide qui tombe, chaque mois et le m\u00eame jour, de la part de l\u2019Etat pour que des dizaines de personnes puissent vivre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La dure r\u00e9alit\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sous ses airs de l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9, l\u2019histoire aborde en filigrane la question de la disparition des petits commerces, assaillis par les factures, les normes et les taxes, lorsque le propri\u00e9taire de La Belle Saison re\u00e7oit un grand nombre de courriers administratifs l\u2019obligeant \u00e0 fermer son \u00e9picerie. Une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle sont confront\u00e9s moult magasins locaux et que l\u2019auteur, lui-m\u00eame g\u00e9rant d\u2019un \u00e9tablissement, a choisi de mettre en lumi\u00e8re dans son ouvrage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abLe fait est que les temps changeaient: les petits proprios dans le genre d\u2019Alain passaient tous \u00e0 la trappe. L\u2019Etat ne voulait plus du sous-entreprenariat. Seuls les gros poissons \u00e9taient \u00e0 m\u00eame de r\u00e9sister, ceux qui avaient le coffre assez solide, des fonds de roulement suffisamment costauds. Les autres n\u2019avaient plus qu\u2019\u00e0 d\u00e9gager, \u00e0 fermer la boutique, illico presto\u2026 La vie, c\u2019est comme un tournoi de foot, c\u2019est souvent les petits qui sautent en premier.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Par son usage de l\u2019argot et son r\u00e9cit suivant les traces des outsiders<\/em> de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, La Sainte Touche <\/em>rappelle les romans de Johann Zarca (Paname Underground<\/em>) et de Bukowski (Le Postier<\/em>), mais dans un style plus \u00e9pur\u00e9. L\u2019auteur (et ses personnages) emploie une langue avec des tournures oralis\u00e9es et constell\u00e9e de langue des banlieues, ce qui donne corps \u00e0 l\u2019histoire et apporte d\u2019ailleurs quelques situations comiques. Un des moments les plus dr\u00f4les du r\u00e9cit prend place lorsque \u00abl\u2019artiste\u00bb essaie d\u2019expliquer \u00e0 Alain Basile qu\u2019il \u00e9crit des aphorismes, que ce dernier prononce \u00abaforizsmes\u00bb\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abIl a froiss\u00e9 le post-it, et l\u2019a jet\u00e9 sur le balatum crasseux.
\u2013 \u00c7a veut dire quoi cette daube? J\u2019ai rien capt\u00e9!
Je ne pouvais pas trop le contredire\u2026 C\u2019\u00e9tait effectivement de la daube. On s\u2019en rend toujours mieux compte quand c\u2019est lu de vive voix.
C\u2019est un aphorisme\u2026 j\u2019lui ai r\u00e9pondu.
Un aforizme?
Une id\u00e9e philosophique \u00e9nonc\u00e9e avec style.
Et \u00e7a sert \u00e0 quoi?
A rien.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Le duo form\u00e9 par \u00abl\u2019artiste\u00bb et Alain Basile est, \u00e0 bien des \u00e9gards, attachant. Leurs visions du monde, diam\u00e9tralement oppos\u00e9es, exigent du lecteur une r\u00e9flexion: que privil\u00e9gier et dans quelle situation? L\u2019oseille? La libert\u00e9?… A d\u00e9faut de se comprendre, ces deux personnages, issus de deux milieux diff\u00e9rents, s\u2019av\u00e8rent capables de collaborer et de magouiller ensemble. Une mani\u00e8re pour l\u2019auteur de donner corps et de concilier, le temps d\u2019un r\u00e9cit, ses deux facettes: celles d\u2019\u00e9picier et d\u2019\u00e9crivain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
