Title : Men Who Move Away - François Taillandier - book
In the Saint-Lazare district, between the train station, offices, and department stores, three friends regularly meet for a drink. In their forties, Manu the cop, Jean the history teacher, and Xeni the advertising executive feel marginalized in a society they believe is given over to televised conformity and the omnipresence of Merchandise. But what, for the former, is merely an amused or melancholic skepticism, gradually turns, for Xeni, into an obsessive denunciation of common values, to the point of praising terrorists, drug dealers, or neo-Nazis. Manu, Jean, and also Gina, the woman who loves him, will helplessly watch the drift of the man they knew to be intelligent and generous. Why this divorce of an individual from his world? What demon is at work, making rupture and violence desirable? This is what this novel, which earned the author of Les Clandestins an enthusiastic critical reception, attempts to understand - or rather, no.
