Encounter in the Mist, by Eugene Ternovsky
Publishing Pierregord. 184 p., 18 euros.
is a far cry from the "Trompe-l'oeuvre" that plunged us into a medieval Russia, and far from polard "The double Dimitri van der D ... ". That emigration and immigration is handled in a very concrete way in the first quarter of the book. The rest of the story takes place in a drizzle all sentimental, it's a real encounter with a young man in his carefree life in Paris as modern disturbs a series of events and situations jostling one by one its existential certainties. Proposed well in the search for the truth about his origins.
Without sentimentality, the author knows how to convey the moods, anxieties and hesitations of Nicolas, a child of Russian parents who came to France and then repartis en Urss d’où il reviendra en France, seul avec sa tante.
Nous voguons sur un texte délicat et restons, jusqu’à la fin de l’histoire, entre fiction et réalisme, sans lassitude ni agacement. Comme à son habitude, Eugène Ternovsky construit savamment la route débuchant sur le dénouement du mystère.
Juste une bribe « remarquable » du texte, démontrant la dextérité du narrateur, nous permettant même, d’exciter nos papilles !
« Après avoir sorti de son cabinet flamand une bouteille et deux verres, elle les posa devant mon rocking-chair sur un guéridon tordu, à coté d’une assiette Chipped, cleanliness questionable, which contained a few appetizers, a variety of small pancakes. They had lost their taste of Provence, I think, the year of my arrival in France and simi-blaient now to dirty rollers. Madam added a chocolate bar, broken into pieces. Very little stingy in terms of hygiene, she wiped the glasses, using the turnbacks of her beautiful gown. The whiskey was undrinkable Rinse true that stench. "(Page 93).
Happy reading and thank you to the author for giving us such beautiful songs.
