A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Calling to mind the minimalist novels of Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Motti is at once an exercise in simplicity and a self-conscious investigation into storytelling . . . An unassuming, unambitious man named Motti, who owns a dog named Laika, has a good friend named Menachem. Motti and Menachem drink beer together every week, and Motti spends the rest of his time daydreaming an imaginary love story for himself and his neighbor, Ariella. Motti is the very picture of inertia, until, one night, a drunk Menachem, driving home from a bar with Motti, runs over a woman and kills her. Menachem has a wife and children, so without any fuss, Motti who has nothing decides to take the blame, going to prison instead of his friend . . . and finding that his life there isn t too different from his life outside. Oh dear, says the narrator, wondering how to tell us anything about such empty lives, look at them, at all the people in this novel . . . if someone would really hug them, if someone would hold them tightly, they would fall to pieces.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Timido e introverso, Motti sembra incapace di vivere un'esistenza reale e nella sua testa si affollano le mille possibilità di tutte le storie. Ha un'adorata cagnolina, Laika, e una vicina di casa che forse un giorno diventerà sua moglie, se solo si accorgerà di lui. Menachem invece è sposato e ha due bambini, ma continua a guardare le ragazze. Una sera, ubriaco, causa un incidente stradale e uccide una donna. L'incauto Motti se ne assume la responsabilità e finisce in carcere, affidando Laika alla famiglia di Menachem... Una vorticosa e divertente commedia in cui Asaf Schurr coinvolge il lettore con leggerezza e garbo.
