Dandy, noceur, artiste de la conversation, ce gentleman des Cara\u00efbes est un autodidacte. Il cite William Shakespeare et James Baldwin et partage ses id\u00e9es \u2013 nombreuses \u2013 sur la politique, l&rsquo;art et ses racines familiales. Carmel et Barry sont mari\u00e9s depuis un demi-si\u00e8cle et Barry est toujours tr\u00e8s \u00e9pris de son amour de jeunesse. Mais ce n&rsquo;est pas Carmel. Le corps muscl\u00e9 de Morris Courtney de la Roux rend Barry fou depuis soixante ans. Son \u00e2me s\u0153ur devine sa moindre pens\u00e9e, sa bouche termine ses phrases. Toute sa vie, Morris a suppli\u00e9 Barry de venir vivre avec lui, en vain. Pourquoi ? Crainte de ne pas avoir la force d&rsquo;affronter les cons\u00e9quences sociales d&rsquo;un coming out si tardif ? Respect pour une \u00e9pouse pieuse qui le croit coureur de jupons ?<br>\u00c0 l&rsquo;aube de sa vie, Barry sent que s&rsquo;appr\u00eate \u00e0 passer sa derni\u00e8re chance d&rsquo;\u00eatre enfin heureux&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color\">Mon ressenti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Loverman, \u00e9crit par Bernardine Evaristo, est <strong>un roman qui explore les th\u00e8mes de l&rsquo;identit\u00e9, de la sexualit\u00e9 et de la culture \u00e0 travers les yeux de Barrington Walker<\/strong>, un gentleman des Cara\u00efbes qui vit \u00e0 Londres. \u00c0 soixante-quatorze ans, Barrington est en effet un s\u00e9ducteur, un dandy et un autodidacte passionn\u00e9 par la litt\u00e9rature et l&rsquo;art. <strong>Mais il porte un secret depuis des d\u00e9cennies : il est homosexuel <\/strong>et est amoureux de Morris, son ami de jeunesse. Et il a enfin pris la d\u00e9cision que son amant attend depuis des ann\u00e9es : il va demander le divorce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Le roman plonge alors le lecteur dans <strong>les pens\u00e9es intimes et les souvenirs de Barrington<\/strong>, qui lutte avec<strong> ses d\u00e9sirs interdits et la pression sociale de vivre dans une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 qui ne tol\u00e8re pas l&rsquo;homosexualit\u00e9. <\/strong>L&rsquo;histoire offre un aper\u00e7u de la vie d&rsquo;un homme qui a pass\u00e9 sa vie \u00e0 cacher sa v\u00e9ritable nature. La force de Mr Loverman r\u00e9side dans <strong>la fa\u00e7on dont l&rsquo;autrice explore les th\u00e8mes de l&rsquo;homophobie et de l&rsquo;identit\u00e9 culturelle \u00e0 travers une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de personnages plut\u00f4t bien dessin\u00e9s. <\/strong>Les dialogues sont vifs et les descriptions sont \u00e9vocatrices, cr\u00e9ant ainsi une ambiance int\u00e9ressante. Cependant, mon ressenti global est plut\u00f4t mitig\u00e9 car <strong>certains passages m&rsquo;ont profond\u00e9ment ennuy\u00e9e<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Le roman est partag\u00e9 entre le point de vue de Barrington et une narration sur sa femme Carmel. <strong>Les passages concernant sa femme sont vraiment ceux qui m&rsquo;ont le plus d\u00e9rang\u00e9e. Ils ne comportent ni majuscule, ni point<\/strong>s, et semblent \u00e9crits \u00e0 la mani\u00e8re de versets de bibliques. Est-ce une interpr\u00e9tation de ma part ? Peut-\u00eatre ai-je ce sentiment car la femme de Barrington est tr\u00e8s pratiquante et passe une grande partie de son temps \u00e0 prier. Je pense que j&rsquo;aurais mieux appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 ces passages s&rsquo;ils avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9crits de mani\u00e8re traditionnelle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure
