✦ Synopsis
Vivre est urgent et ce qui l'est encore plus à Angelus, dans l'Ouest australien, c'est d'échapper à un destin terriblement prévisible. Là-bas, au bord de la mer, des hommes, des femmes et des adolescents fixent l'horizon, têtus dans leur désir de franchir la porte du bar, d'aller au-delà des bateaux dans le port, de passer outre le parking et les dunes, pour laisser derrière soi les sévices et la mélancolie.
Certains vont mourir, d'autres réussir.
Après les trois romans qui ont fait sa notoriété internationale (Cloudstreet, La femme égarée, Par-dessus le bord du monde) Tim Winton se révèle ici plus âpre encore. Jamais sa prose n'a été aussi dense, vibrante.
En dix-sept histoires, voilà la vie pelée, stupéfiante, d'une kyrielle de gens ordinaires à l'autre bout du monde.
