ce nest pas rien ! Je détecte les morts et je peux dire ce qui les a tués mais pas qui les a tués, quand ils ont été assassinés." Harper Connelly a fait de ce don étrange son gagne-pain.

À Sarne, en Arkansas, où une adolescente est recherchée, Harper sait presque immédiatement que la jeune fille est décédée.

du coiffeur de la petite ville. Appelé sous les drapeaux pendant la seconde guerre mondiale (comme assistant daumonier militaire...), il est capturé par les allemands et fait prisonnier dans un camp à Dresde. Démobilisé en 1945, il devient opticien, passe une petite dépression nerveuse dans un hôpital militaire, puis se marie, a bientôt deux enfants et fait fortune. De retour dun congrès dopticien il est victime dun accident davion, tous les passagers périssent sauf lui. Pendant quil est à la clinique, sa femme meurt. Il ne reprend pas son activité en sortant de lhôpital mais va tout droit à New York. Là, il participe à une émission de radio où il révèle avoir été enlevé par une soucoupe volante en 1967 et amené de force sur la planète Tralfamadore. Objet de spectacle, montré nu dans un zoo, les trafalmadoriens le feront saccoupler avec une terrienne, ancienne actrice de cinéma, elle-même kidnapée, avant de le relâcher. De retour sur terre, il comprend que les années quil a passé sur Trafalmadore nont été chez lui que quelques secondes. Bien sûr, Billy ayant atteint lâge de quatre-vingt six ans, tout le monde est persuadé quil a définitivement perdu le sens des réalités et que la sénilité avance à grands pas. Mais Billy insiste pour remonter dans le passé et raconter son histoire, notamment sa vie de soldat et, ce faisant, il ne va plus cesser alors deffectuer des sauts dans le temps, évoluant et vieillissant, ou régressant vers son enfance. Ce sont ces différents épisodes, et principalement celui de la seconde guerre, de lemprisonnement et du bombardement de Dresde qui font la trame quelque peu décousue, ironique et pleine dhumour de ce roman étonnant où les saynètes se multiplient et senchevêtrent..." -- 4e de couvPar Gayle Forman. 2009

An epic yet intimate novel about a Colombian man caught up in the sweep of global historical and ideological revolutions.…
The Colombian film director, Sergio Cabrera, is in Barcelona for a retrospective of his work. It's a hard time for him: his father, famous actor Fausto Cabrera, has just died; his marriage is in crisis; and his home country has rejected peace agreements that might have ended more than fifty years of war. In the course of a few intense days, as his films are on exhibit, Sergio recalls the events that marked his family's unusual and dramatic lives: especially his father's, his sister Marianella's and his own. Growing up in Colombia as the children of famous actors, Sergio and Marianella were privileged and artistic, until their parents became disillusioned with bourgeois conventions and moved the entire family to China. Mao’s Cultural Revolution was underway and the family lived in an entirely ex-pat hotel where they learned Chinese and joined the revolution, became members of the Red Guard, and trained as guerilla fighters. When they returned to Colombia to support the revolution there, they were sent into the countryside to join the guerilla force, were shot at and nearly died. Out of these lives molded by ideology and zealotry, came an artistic second life for Sergio as he escaped the movement and became his country’s most celebrated film director. From the Spanish Civil War to the exile of his family to Latin America, and from the Cultural Revolution in China to the guerrilla movements of 1960s Colombia, Sergio and his family's experience is extraordinary by any standards.
