L'intégriste malgré lui
by Mohsin Hamid (2014)
About this book
Lahore, Pakistan, de nos jours. Un homme est assis à la terrasse d'un café. Le jeune Tchenguiz l'aborde, croyant reconnaître en lui un Américain. D'emblée il lui dit son amour inconditionnel des Etats-Unis, s'assied à côté de lui, puis se lance dans un long récit. Il raconte comment il a accompli son rêve d'enfance en partant faire ses études aux Etats-Unis. Brillant diplômé de Princeton, engagé sans embûche par une prestigieuse entreprise, il a aussi rencontré l'amour : Erica, blonde aux yeux bleus. Bref, une success story à l'américaine, et un modèle d'intégration. Mais un jour, le 11 septembre 2001, tout a basculé. Ce fut le début d'une longue fuite en avant. Dans ce monologue tout en fausse candeur, Moshin Hamid pose des questions humaines, sociales et politiques fondamentales sur notre monde actuel, sur les relations entre les peuples et les individus, et sur le sens toujours trouble de nos identités et de nos ambitions.

God bless the dead

"The truth will not set you free. The truth will get you killed." -Screamin' Jay Hawkins Gabriel Sheehan is in the truth business. He has invented a practical mind reading technology. But his wife, Helena, is no friend of the truth. Gabriel knew she was something of an enigma when he married her, but occasionally she seems more catatonic than enigmatic. And he definitely has the impression that she may have killed someone, though he's not quite sure of the details. While his company is a success, the change his technology works upon society attracts the attention of powerful forces, both in and outside of government: the kind of forces that his wife has carefully been hiding from for her entire life. But now she can't hide anymore. And those forces are intent on using his new technology in ways that Gabriel had never anticipated--in ways that may lead to his wife's final disappearance."--Back cover.
