Title : Birth of a Bridge - Maylis de Kerangal - book

• Summary

Medici Prize 2010

"At dawn on the second day, when suddenly the Coca-Cola buildings rise, perpendicular to the surface of the river, it is another man who emerges from the woods, a man beside himself, a potential murderer. The sun rises, it ricochets against the glass and steel facades, iridescent the rainbow-colored oil slicks that halo the waters, and the triangular metal plates that festoon the planking of the canoe, gleaming in the light, draw an open jaw." This book starts with an ambition that is both simple and crazy: to tell the story of the construction of a suspension bridge somewhere in an imaginary California based on the intertwined destinies of a dozen men and women, all employees of the gigantic construction site. A sweeping novel, "American style," that mixes sensations and dreams, landscapes and machines, career plans and social classes, trades and bodies in general.
