D&rsquo;un c\u00f4t\u00e9, l&rsquo;opulence et le faste. De l&rsquo;autre, le vice monnay\u00e9 et l&rsquo;alcool frelat\u00e9. C&rsquo;est \u00e0 leur fronti\u00e8re, au c\u0153ur de l&rsquo;inf\u00e2me Triangle Noir, qu&rsquo;une famille fortun\u00e9e va chercher \u00e0 asseoir sa notori\u00e9t\u00e9 en faisant mine de d\u00e9barrasser la ville de sa corruption. Les Stallworth, dirig\u00e9s d&rsquo;une main de fer par leur patriarche, l&rsquo;influent et implacable juge James Stallworth, assist\u00e9 de son fils Edward, pasteur aux sermons incendiaires, et de son gendre Duncan Phair, jeune avocat \u00e0 la carri\u00e8re prometteuse, ont un plan impeccable : d\u00e9raciner le mal en \u00e9radiquant une lign\u00e9e corrompue de criminelles : les Shanks.<\/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\">A la fin du XIX\u00e8 si\u00e8cle, la famille Stallworth, r\u00e9publicaine, n&rsquo;a qu&rsquo;une id\u00e9e en t\u00eate. <strong>Exterminer la famille Shanks qui r\u00e8gne sur le Triangle Noir<\/strong>, un quartier malfam\u00e9 de New York. Repr\u00e9sentante de la justice, la famille Stallworth mettra alors tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour faire exploser cette famille. <strong>Mais les Shanks, compos\u00e9e presque que de femmes, ont soif de vengeance et celle-ci sera terrible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">L&rsquo;\u00e9criture de ce roman est d&rsquo;une <strong>agr\u00e9able simplicit\u00e9, tout en \u00e9tant habilement sophistiqu\u00e9e<\/strong>. On ne peut qu&rsquo;admirer le travail du traducteur qui \u0153uvre dans l&rsquo;ombre. Cependant, <strong>le rythme de l&rsquo;histoire est d\u00e9cousu<\/strong>. La premi\u00e8re partie du roman, qui se consacre \u00e0 la famille Stallworth est tr\u00e8s longue. Certains chapitres pr\u00e9sentent <strong>un rythme effr\u00e9n\u00e9<\/strong> tandis que d&rsquo;autres sont <strong>d&rsquo;une lenteur incroyable<\/strong>. La deuxi\u00e8me partie, quant \u00e0 elle, qui se consacre \u00e0 la famille Shanks pr\u00e9sente un rythme d\u00e9brid\u00e9, parfois trop rapide, dans laquelle <strong>les \u00e9v\u00e9nements s&rsquo;encha\u00eenent les uns apr\u00e8s les autres.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Michael McDowell nous propose <strong>un tableau complexe de la politique am\u00e9ricaine de la fin du XIX\u00e8 si\u00e8cle.<\/strong> D&rsquo;un c\u00f4t\u00e9, la famille Stallworth incarne les r\u00e9publicains d\u00e9termin\u00e9s \u00e0 \u00e9radiquer ce qu&rsquo;ils qualifient de \u00ab\u00a0vermine\u00a0\u00bb des quartiers les plus d\u00e9favoris\u00e9s. De l&rsquo;autre, les d\u00e9mocrates pr\u00f4nent une approche plus inclusive, cherchant \u00e0 \u00e9lever ces quartiers pour \u00e9viter qu&rsquo;ils ne sombrent dans la d\u00e9linquance. <strong>Cette dualit\u00e9 politique, bien que domin\u00e9e par la perspective r\u00e9publicaine, offre un contraste captivant. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>La cruaut\u00e9 de la famille Shanks envers la famille Stallworth, d\u00e9peinte par l&rsquo;auteur, transcende les limites de l&rsquo;imagination.<\/strong> Il a su insuffler une dose d&rsquo;inventivit\u00e9 terrifiante \u00e0 cet acharnement, rendant ainsi ce roman tr\u00e8s sombre, mais pas pour autant inint\u00e9ressant.
