Description
« Mon dimanche a commencé comme le début d’un film de Jim Jarmusch par un long planséquence où le héros devant son verre de pur malt est assis au comptoir, près de lui, une Rita Hayworth éméchée mime une danse lascive devant un juke-box à la prise débranchée, tandis que le barman lit 2666 de Roberto Bolaño, il est minuit passé de cinq minutes, rue Myrha, je regarde mon reflet dans le miroir au-dessus du comptoir, je venais d’avoir quarante et un ans ». Miguel Juan Manuel vit à Paris, il est critique rock pour le magazine Remington, où il tient une chronique dans laquelle il fait entendre sa musique. Un brin narcissique, un rien insouciant, Miguel Juan Manuel carbure au sexe, à l’alcool et au rock’n’roll... mais, le soir de son anniversaire, il fait son examen de conscience lors de la fête que lui organisent ses amis et ses fantômes. Dans de courts chapitres, comme autant de récits de vie, de récits de soi, Mamadou Mahmoud N’Dongo relate les ambivalences, les incertitudes, les doutes d’une génération.
