Enon (Paul Harding)
Deuxième tentative avec Paul Harding, et pas vraiment concluante. J'avais trouvé Tinkers trop dense, Enon est plus simple, mais je n'ai pas vraiment compris.
Dans Enon, Paul Harding nous raconte une année dans la vie d'un homme qui vient de perdre sa fille. Sa femme le quitte peu après. Et lui passe son temps à boire et à prendre des médicaments. Oui, le livre est émouvant, mais je n'ai pas réussi à apprécier. Dommage !

Hailed as “a masterpiece” (NPR), Tinkers, Paul Harding’s Pulitzer Prize–winning debut, is a modern classic.The Dallas Morning News observed that “like Faulkner, Harding never shies away from describing what seems impossible to put into words.” Here, in Enon, Harding follows a year in the life of Charlie Crosby as he tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby (the protagonist ofTinkers), Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie’s encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history, and his yearning to understand the big questions. A stunning mosaic of human experience, Enon affirms Paul Harding as one of the most gifted and profound writers of his generation.
