REQUIEM
R.L. Stevenson
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be
Home is the sailor, home from sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.

C'était mon #VendrediLecture de la semaine dernière, je lui consacre un billet de blog, mais comment parler de l'expérience singulière orchestrée par l'imaginaire débridé (mais lucide) de Martin Mongin ? Une chose est sûre, le medef ne sera pas client, les Versaillais pourraient s'etrangler, et la vision des lecteurs sur les auteurs de SF et d'anticipation sera bien secouée. D'ailleurs, mieux vaut bien attacher sa ceinture avant de démarrer...

Ami lecteur, si tu as lu Francis Rissin et/ou Le Chomor , tu te doutes qu'avec Le livre des comptes tu auras affaire à une nouvelle expérience singulière et impossible à raconter. Si tu ne sais rien de l'univers de Martin Mongin, surtout attache bien...
