J\u2019ai du mal \u00e0 me d\u00e9barrasser de James Ellroy.
Pourtant je n\u2019avais pas vraiment appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 La Temp\u00eate qui vient<\/a> : trop verbeux, trop confus malgr\u00e9 quelques \u00e9clairs propres \u00e0 Ellroy et je m\u2019\u00e9tais dit que j\u2019allais m\u2019arr\u00eater l\u00e0, que Ellroy avait fait son temps et qu\u2019il commen\u00e7ait \u00e0 se r\u00e9p\u00e9ter.
Quand j\u2019ai rep\u00e9r\u00e9 Les Enchanteurs en \u00e9dition poche dans une de mes librairies pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9es<\/a>, je n\u2019ai finalement pas vraiment h\u00e9sit\u00e9 : un dernier pour la route ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Le troisi\u00e8me volet de Quintet de Los Angeles s\u2019av\u00e8re finalement \u00eatre un bon cru ; l\u2019\u00e9criture nerveuse d\u2019Ellroy, les personnages ambigus (ou pas du tout ambigus), le milieu v\u00e9rol\u00e9 d\u2019Hollywood en ce d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 60, la fratrie Kennedy (avec cette fois ci, la s\u0153ur Patricia qui tien un r\u00f4le important) et surtout Freddy Otash comme personnage central m\u2019ont une fois de plus convaincu.
Et je n\u2019ai pas \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9\u00e7u.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est la premi\u00e8re bonne nouvelle.<\/p>\n

Certes, la multiplicit\u00e9 des personnages est parfois un peu difficile \u00e0 suivre et j\u2019avoue que parfois je ne savais plus trop qui \u00e9tait qui, mais l\u2019intrigue est finalement \u00ab relativement \u00bb simple et tourne autour du personnage ce Maryline Monroe et de ses relations avec le clan Kennedy.<\/p>\n

Bon, autant le dire tout de suite, si vous \u00eates fan de l\u2019actrice, passez votre chemin. Mais sinon c\u2019est une plong\u00e9e en apn\u00e9e dans le Hollywood des ann\u00e9es 50, 60 et on en ressort apr\u00e8s 650 pages un peu essouffl\u00e9, mais pr\u00eat \u00e0 replonger.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est la seconde bonne nouvelle.<\/p>\n\n\n
