Description
Un demi-million de dollars... Bien sûr, il y avait des risques, mais l'affaire n'en était que plus excitante. " C'est moi qui mets les fonds, avait annoncé Vogelsang, et je fournis le terrain... " " Parce que la marijuana, il allait te la faire pousser en grand, Vogelsang, comme des plants de tabac ni plus ni moins. Il n'allait pas mégoter. Le grand jeu, quoi, le monumental bras d'honneur tiré à la société... " Avec la même verve picaresque qui déjà faisait merveille dans Water Music, T. C. Boyle tient ici, des semailles à la moisson, la savoureuse et pastorale chronique d'une plantation lucrative qu'un trio d'associés a " scientifiquement " programmée - et à travers eux, celle d'une génération grande consommatrice de mirages. Car la mirifique récolte ne sera pas seule à partir en fumée... T. C. Boyle en grande forme.
