Title : September 11, my love - Luc Lang - book
Summary :
On September 11, 2001, Luc Lang traveled to the depths of Montana, following in the footsteps of the Blackfeet Indians. It was there, on the reservation where friends had welcomed him, that he discovered on television the images of the Twin Towers being hit by planes. The horror of the attacks would initially leave far behind the traveler's dreams and questions, upsetting all his writing projects and even his outlook on the world. However, little by little, a narrative on two levels would take shape and impose itself. Current events, of course, with the pathetic voices of the victims found on cell phone messages, the absurdity of the images that scrolled in a loop, the President's devastated face learning what had just happened... But also America. The America of before, that of the Indian genocide, of Hiroshima, of Vietnam. Today's America, its hamburgers, its SUVs, its dollars, its preachers, and its intellectuals. A terrified America... its response. A novelist and winner of the Goncourt des lycéens prize, Luc Lang takes on a major challenge here: to confront the event, without pretense, without hindsight. And to challenge, with it, literature itself.
