✦ Synopsis


Le docteur Justo Pastor Proceso a tout pour être heureux. Il est gynécologue dans une petite ville du sud de la Colombie, il a une résidence secondaire, une femme coquette, deux filles et un hobby : enquêter sur la véritable histoire de Simón Bolívar. Pour le carnaval de décembre 1966, il décide de frapper un grand coup en faisant construire un char burlesque qui révélera la face cachée de Simón Bolívar : le Libérateur s’est attribué des victoires sur des champs de bataille où il n’a jamais mis les pieds, a trahi ses amis, menti sans pudeur, enlevé et violé des petites filles à peine nubiles. Pareille offense au héros national ne passe pas inaperçue : on crie au scandale, les notables se liguent contre lui, on attaque l’atelier à l’arme à feu. Pour couronner le tout, en pleine folie carnavalesque, il découvre que sa femme le trompe (avec un général et quelques autres), ses filles le méprisent et ses amis se servent de lui. On quitte le vaudeville pour la farce, mais le drame n’est jamais loin. Dans la Colombie de la fin des années 60 on préfère vivre dans le mensonge plutôt que de remettre les mythes en question. Dans ce roman à la fois ironique et totalement tragique, Evelio Rosero confirme son très grand talent de styliste et de raconteur d’histoires.
