Serena

Ron Rash

Années 1930, Smoky Mountains. George Pemberton, riche exploitant forestier, et sa femme Serena forment un couple de prédateurs mégalos, déterminés à couper tous les arbres à portée de main pour accroître leur fortune. Mais le projet d'aménagement d'un parc national, pour lequel l'État convoite leurs terres, menace leurs ambitions. Pemberton s'emploie à soudoyer banquiers et politiciens. Sans états d'âme, Serena a d'autres arguments: le fusil, le couteau, le poison, et un homme de main dévoué... Après Un pied au paradis, Ron Rash nous propose un drame élisabéthain sur fond de Dépression et de capitalisme sans foi ni foi. La nature, hostile et menacée, s'y mesure âprement aux pires recoins de l'âme humaine.

Ron Rash signe ici une version sauvage de la tragédie grecque, au coeur des montagnes boisées de la Caroline du Nord. Dominique Artus, Le Point.
