✦ Synopsis
“Nous connaissons tous de ces moments ou de ces jours où, sans aucune explication, notre perception des choses se transcende, où le banal rejoint le sublime. Sam Hunter s’apprêtait à connaître de tels instants.” L’événement se produit deux semaines après que Sam eut fêté son trentecinquième anniversaire, en la personne d’un jeune indien vêtu de cuir noir frangé de plumes rouges. Dans la cosmogonie crow, le Coyote s’apparente au farceur. À cause de lui, le quotidien de Sam va devenir infernal, sans que ses nouvelles mésaventures ne semblent toutefois l’affecter. Sam, qui a relégué ses souvenirs d’enfance dans un coin perdu de sa mémoire pour s’adapter à la société des Blancs, va devoir ressusciter son passé. Pour la première fois de son existence, il repousse l’anxiété. Entre légendes indiennes et réalités yankees, le premier roman de Christopher Moore est d’une inventivité vertigineuse
