� Tout est compliqu� quand on est en vie, m�me pour les experts. �Knockemstiff � litt�ralement � �tale les raides � � existe vraiment. Ce n'est pas la moindre bizarrerie de ce premier livre de Donald Ray Pollock. En r�f�rence aux classiques de Sherwood Anderson, les histoires racont�es ici sont toutes li�es � ce bourg. Mais les turpitudes et les hypocrisies individuelles de Winesburg, Ohio, sur lesquelles �crivait Anderson en 1919, paraissent soudain bien p�les devant les vis�es de tante Joan sur un paum� d�fonc� � la Bactine, devant Daniel, le violeur de poup�es, ou encore devant la Fish Stick Girl, qui serait le meilleur plan de la r�gion, si elle n'avait pas la manie de trimballer des beignets de poisson pan� au fond de son sac. Plus encore que les camionneurs speed�s, les fondus de la fonte ou les papys Alzheimer qui peuplent Knockemstiff, c'est l'humanit� atrocement comique de ces personnages qui d�range. Donald Ray Pollock est assur�ment la voix la plus singuli�re et la plus exaltante de la nouvelle litt�rature am�ricaine depuis Larry Brown ou Chuck Palahniuk (lui-m�me fan de Pollock). Certaines de ses histoires tachent comme le p�ch� ou le mauvais vin, et vous collent � la peau, m�me apr�s plusieurs douches.
