And we'd be wrong to think we'd heard enough about it already.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>There's something of the Cohen brothers and Quentin Tarantino in Joseph Incardona's latest novel, <em>Stella and America<\/em>, published by Editions Finitude. This book is a kind of <em>road movie<\/em> over 3500 kilometers between Georgia and Las Vegas. In this landscape of extreme heat and dust, halfway between <em>Pulp Fiction<\/em> and <em>No Country for Old Men<\/em>, The author plays with all the clich\u00e9s that cinema and literature have created about the United States over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A far cry from the square-jawed, impeccably groomed superhero, <em>Stella and America<\/em> depicts a gallery of grotesque, caricatured characters, a court of miracles of ugly, mean or crippled individuals. Every clich\u00e9 is present: the dreaded hitmen, twins with butchered faces worthy of the Bogdanoff brothers, a boxer who has turned bartender, an ex-Special Forces priest armed to the teeth, an old fortune-teller, a femme fatale, an ambitious immigrant journalist. A rotten cardinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-une-vierge-a-l-envers\"><strong>An upside-down Virgin\u00ab<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardly anyone emerges unscathed from this exercise in style, orchestrated with relish by Joseph Incardona. Even Stella, the young girl who is half saint and half whore, swings \u00abbetween masterful bullshit and absolute generosity\u00bb, according to the narrator. He portrays her as a kind of \u00abupside-down Virgin\u00bb whose very existence \u00abcalls two thousand years of history into question\u00bb. No wonder the Vatican wants to eliminate her at all costs. After all, a prostitute who heals paralytics by having sex doesn't look good; it's better to make her a martyr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5;\npadding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .infmain_\n3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555;\nfont-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .infmain_\n3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid\n#E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .infmain_\n3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error\nspan.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight:\nnormal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inlineblock;\nbackground-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\">\n<h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4>\n<p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta=\"1\" data-inf-error=\"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\"> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>As befits a book that borrows from westerns and film noir, Joseph Incardona adds a dash of explosions, a pinch of gunfire and a few well-chosen corpses. And, far from taking a back seat to the action, he grafts in some well-intentioned commentary, philosophical reflections and even quotations from Alice Rivaz. The result is a joy to behold. The writing is sharp and jubilant, the plot outrageous and the dialogue delicious. The whole thing can be savored in no time, like a cocktail on a chaise longue by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But beyond that, the writer looks at the postcard America of Bruce Springsteen's songs, which has shaped our collective imagination for decades. It has sold us dreams thanks to its epic and legendary tales, where even bastards can become heroes. Now it's an America that's dying, \u00abher and her flag blowing its nose at the stars\u00bb, as the narrator puts it. And with it, \u00abwe too are dying a little\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sandrine.rovere@leregardlibre.com\">sandrine.rovere@leregardlibre.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vous-venez-de-lire-une-critique-en-libre-acces-publiee-dans-notre-edition-papier-le-regard-libre-nbsp-n-109-nbsp-debats-analyses-actualites-culturelles-nbsp-abonnez-vous-nbsp-a-notre-media-de-reflexion-pour-nous-soutenir-et-avoir-acces-a-tous-nos-contenus\">You have just read an open-access review published in our print edition (<a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cpt-editions\/le-regard-libre-n109-dossier-milice\/\"><em>Le Regard Libre<\/em>&nbsp;N\u00b0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cpt-editions\/le-regard-libre-n108-dossier-argent\/\">109<\/a>).
