Mais ces r\u00eaves sont boulevers\u00e9s lorsque Baba d\u00e9cide d&#8217;embarquer de force ses trois fils \u00e0 T\u00e9h\u00e9ran, en Iran, leur pays d&rsquo;origine. Quand ils reviennent quelques mois plus tard en Californie, peu apr\u00e8s les attentats du 11 Septembre, tout a chang\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f23c8b2a16e312961195b63e6e32e882\">Mon ressenti<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">American Boys raconte la vie de K. et de ses deux fr\u00e8res. Trois adolescents irano-am\u00e9ricains qui vivent dans un petit appartement de Californie. Leur quotidien est simple\u202f: basket, fast-food, amis, et r\u00eaves d\u2019une vie normale. Mais tout change le jour o\u00f9 leur p\u00e8re d\u00e9cide de les emmener en Iran. Pour eux, ce pays n\u2019est pas le leur, et l&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique leur manque. \u00c0 leur retour aux \u00c9tats-Unis, juste avant le 11 septembre, ils d\u00e9couvrent un pays transform\u00e9.  La peur, le racisme et la suspicion transforment leur pays et bouleversent leur vision du r\u00eave am\u00e9ricain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">K., le cadet, est au centre de l\u2019histoire. L&rsquo;histoire nous est racont\u00e9e \u00e0 travers ses yeux. Ses fr\u00e8res, Justin et Shawn, sont ses complices, malgr\u00e9 les tensions qui peuvent exister entre eux. Cette relation donne beaucoup de profondeur \u00e0 cette fratrie, finalement comme toutes les autres . Les parents sont loin d\u2019\u00eatre parfaits\u202f. Baba, le p\u00e8re, impose sa vision du monde avec rigueur. Quant \u00e0 la m\u00e8re, travailleuse et protectrice, elle tente de garder l\u2019\u00e9quilibre de la famille. C&rsquo;est un personnage que j&rsquo;ai appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 car elle a pris go\u00fbt \u00e0 la libert\u00e9 et refuse de se laisser enfermer par son mari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019\u00e9criture de Khabushani est simple, mais elle est assez touchante. Le roman alterne des moments l\u00e9gers et des passages plus durs, parfois assez violents. Les th\u00e8mes de l\u2019exil, du racisme et de la recherche d\u2019identit\u00e9 sont pr\u00e9sents sans pour autant venir alourdir le texte. Je lui reprocherais cependant le manque d&rsquo;action. Certains passages sont ennuyeux, notamment ceux qui se passent en Iran. C&rsquo;est dommage car c&rsquo;est le passage qui me tentait vraiment le plus. Enfin, je regrette d&rsquo;avoir lu la 4\u00e8me de couverture qui annonce la quasi totalement du roman. Aucune surprise, aucune tension, je savais d\u00e9j\u00e0 tout ce qui allait se produire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Malgr\u00e9 quelques longueurs et un rythme parfois in\u00e9gal, American Boys reste un premier roman touchant, a<\/em>vec<em> des personnages attachants et une \u00e9criture simple.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div
