Kingdom Come by Ballard: The Stricken City by Nicole Terrien

“…L’esthétique de la violence ne définit pas seulement l’ordre politique dénoncé, mais caractérise aussi le mode opératoire du roman qui, à travers les mises en scènes de moments disjoints et le choix d’un vocabulaire décalé, oblige le lecteur à s’interroger sur l’espace dans lequel il vit. Tel un microscope, le roman donne à voir l’espace de la banlieue comme un gigantesque "incubateur" de nouveaux pathogènes, observés à dessein par les pouvoirs politiques qui se croient à l’abri de la contagion. …”
