R\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lorsqu\u2019Ethan Muller, propri\u00e9taire d\u2019une galerie, met la main sur une s\u00e9rie de dessins d\u2019une qualit\u00e9 exceptionnelle, il sait qu\u2019il va enfin pouvoir se faire un nom dans l\u2019univers impitoyable des marchands d\u2019art. Leur myst\u00e9rieux auteur, Victor Cracke, a disparu corps et \u00e2me apr\u00e8s avoir v\u00e9cu reclus pr\u00e8s de quarante ans dans un appartement miteux de New York. D\u00e8s que les dessins sont rendus publics, la critique est unanime : c\u2019est le travail d\u2019un g\u00e9nie. La m\u00e9canique se d\u00e9r\u00e8gle le jour o\u00f9 un flic \u00e0 la retraite reconna\u00eet sur certains portraits les visages d\u2019enfants victimes, des ann\u00e9es plus t\u00f4t, d\u2019un myst\u00e9rieux tueur en s\u00e9rie. Ethan se lance alors dans une enqu\u00eate qui va bient\u00f4t virer \u00e0 l\u2019obsession.<\/p>\n

Avis\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019instar de sa couverture quasi vierge, on ne sait pas trop quoi penser d\u2019un polar encens\u00e9 par les critiques, sans compter son succ\u00e8s commercial ind\u00e9niable. L\u2019on \u00e9prouve un sentiment partag\u00e9 entre le \u00ab\u00a0pourquoi pas\u00a0\u00bb et un \u00ab\u00a0mouais\u00a0\u00bb pour le moins perplexe. Premier ouvrage de Jesse Kellerman<\/em> (dont les deux parents sont \u00e9crivains et lui permettent une entr\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re des plus confortables), Les visages<\/strong> divisent tant sur les qualit\u00e9s de son intrigue que sur le talent de son auteur. Cette difficult\u00e9 \u00e0 trancher sur ce livre trahit une certaine inconstance dans l\u2019architecture de l\u2019histoire, voire des rat\u00e9s d\u00e9plorables.<\/p>\n

L\u2019entame se montre peu originale et fleure bon avec les romans de gare des ann\u00e9es\u00a01950. M\u00eame si Jesse Kellerman<\/em> ne le nie pas, il tend \u00e0 masquer son manque d\u2019inspiration par la d\u00e9rision afin de flouer les lecteurs les plus indulgents. Un personnage esseul\u00e9, des regrets et une intrigue qui nous promet non du glauque et du sordide, mais un myst\u00e8re \u00e0 r\u00e9soudre et un suspense tir\u00e9 au cordeau. Enfin, presque\u2026 Les visages<\/strong> ne remplira qu\u2019\u00e0 moiti\u00e9 son cahier des charges pour laisser un sentiment d\u2019inachev\u00e9 teint\u00e9 de frustrations sur un concept initial pourtant original.<\/p>\n

Quel est-il\u00a0? La d\u00e9couverte de milliers de dessins dans un taudis qui portent des chiffres et poss\u00e8dent tous un lien de telles sortes que chacun est la continuit\u00e9 d\u2019un autre sans jamais discerner le d\u00e9but de la fin. Lorsqu\u2019on analyse cette \u0153uvre d\u00e9rangeante (qui \u00e9voque dans certaines mesures celle de Francis Bacon<\/em>) o\u00f9 se profile des victimes de meurtres vieux de cinquante ans, l\u2019intrigue prend une tournure int\u00e9ressante. Ponctu\u00e9e d\u2019interludes qui s\u2019invitent tant au XIXe si\u00e8cle, qu\u2019\u00e0 travers le XXe si\u00e8cle, celle-ci s\u2019attarde \u00e0 d\u00e9peindre un tableau familial brinquebalant en d\u00e9pit de sa fa\u00e7ade idyllique. Malheureusement, l\u2019on devine sans mal un lien avec le fil rouge et les fameux dessins.<\/p>\n

En effet, la d\u00e9ception pointe quand toutes les pi\u00e8ces s\u2019imbriquent parfaitement dans des cases pr\u00e9destin\u00e9es. Pr\u00e9visible certes, mais surtout laborieux pour en arriver \u00e0 une telle conclusion. Le rythme se montre l\u00e9nifiant \u00e0 plus d\u2019un titre. La faute \u00e0 une surexposition du contexte au sein d\u2019un environnement aussi superficiel qu\u2019hypocrite. En ce sens, le monde de \u00ab\u00a0l\u2019art\u00a0\u00bb se rapproche de son homologue textile et ses \u00ab\u00a0grands\u00a0\u00bb couturiers. Milieu \u00e9litiste aga\u00e7ant par excellence, il en d\u00e9coule une certaine r\u00e9p\u00e9titivit\u00e9 dans cette suffisance omnipr\u00e9sente, quitte \u00e0 laisser de c\u00f4t\u00e9 le r\u00e9cit et le c\u0153ur du probl\u00e8me.<\/p>\n

S\u2019il n\u2019arrive pas \u00e0 se justifier, l\u2019emploi de la premi\u00e8re personne du singulier est toujours un choix risqu\u00e9 pour raconter son histoire. \u00c9tant donn\u00e9 l\u2019antipathie que d\u00e9gage Ethan Muller, s\u2019identifier et s\u2019immerger via ce proc\u00e9d\u00e9 n\u2019est absolument pas judicieux. Le lecteur se d\u00e9tache rapidement des petites mis\u00e8res qui accablent son quotidien de nanti et ne se sent gu\u00e8re impliqu\u00e9 par les \u00e9v\u00e9nements. \u00c9gocentrique, orgueilleux et pr\u00e9tentieux, il est tr\u00e8s difficile de lui trouver de bon c\u00f4t\u00e9 tout comme la gamme d\u2019intervenants secondaires qui l\u2019accompagne. Narcissiques, idiots, superficiels et autres adjectifs raffin\u00e9s caract\u00e9risent leur \u00e9tat d\u2019\u00eatre. En somme, un panel d\u2019individus d\u00e9testables.<\/p>\n

Au final, Les visages<\/strong> est un polar assez d\u00e9cevant. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 son id\u00e9e de d\u00e9part et des interludes davantage ma\u00eetris\u00e9s au niveau du style que le reste du livre, ce premier roman est sauv\u00e9 du naufrage de justesse. Cependant, l\u2019intrigue est percluse de longueurs aussi inutiles et p\u00e9nibles que ses personnages. On a l\u2019impression que l\u2019auteur v\u00e9hicule une sorte de fantasme, une vision id\u00e9alis\u00e9e d\u2019un milieu peu am\u00e8ne, comme s\u2019il se trouvait en dehors de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Malgr\u00e9 quelques tournures bien senties, sa prose trahit une certaine complaisance dans sa construction pour faire miroiter sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 encha\u00eener les mots, quitte \u00e0 rel\u00e9guer son histoire au second plan (d\u2019o\u00f9 sa pr\u00e9visibilit\u00e9). Des id\u00e9es int\u00e9ressantes, mais mal exploit\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
