Sous le regard émerveillé de leur fils, ils dansent sur «Mr. Bojangles» de Nina Simone. Leur amour est magique, vertigineux, une fête perpétuelle. Chez eux, il n'y a de place que pour le plaisir, la fantaisie et les amis.

Celle qui mène le bal, c'est la mère, imprévisible et extravagante. Elle n'a de cesse de les entraîner dans un tourbillon de poésie et de chimères.

Un jour, pourtant, elle va trop loin. Et père et fils feront tout pour éviter l'inéluctable, pour que la fête continue, coûte que coûte.

L'amour fou n'a jamais si bien porté son nom.

About the Author

Olivier Bourdeaut est né en 1980. En délicatesse avec l’Éducation Nationale, « poursuivi par des notes minables, des conseils de discipline et des souvenirs périssables » affirme-t-il. Né dans une maison sans télévision, il est tombé très jeune dans la lecture et reste un lecteur boulimique. Il a longtemps hésité avant de se mettre à écrire, se sentant tout petit devant sa bibliothèque. Mais « une bouffée de mégalomanie » lui a permis de terminer son premier roman « En attendant Bojangles ».

Beaucoup de ressemblance avec "Le Petit Sauvage" d'Alexandre Jardin. Mais si vous ne l'avez pas lu alors c'est un tres bon livre.

Delightful ! Une réjouissance de chaque page !

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Ce roman, acheté sur la recommandation d'une amie, m'a dévoré ce matin.
Je me souviendrai longtemps de cette plongée dans la vie drôle et touchante de cette famille originale, décalée et hors du temps.
"En attendant Bojangles", c'est l'histoire d'un amour conjugal et filial virevoltant, résolu à ne pas se laisser rattraper par l'ennuyeuse réalité.
Ce conte drôle, tendre et fantasque narre la vie d’une famille qui a pris le parti de draper de ses rêves les contrariétés du quotidien.
Accompagnez un homme prêt à tout pour son aimée, une femme à la joie de vivre enivrante à travers les yeux d'un enfant bercé par les illusions de ses parents.
Vous ferez la connaissance de "l'Ordure" et de "Mademoiselle Superfétatoire", vous adonnerez à la "gym tonic" et aux parties de "Claude François", et découvrirez le "paradis" terrestre de cette famille généreuse.
Vous ne regretterez certainement pas les heures passées en leur charmante compagnie.

Assolutamente magnifico ! Lettura piacevolissima leggera e seria allo stesso tempo. Consigliato a tutti. Sembra impossibile che non sia autobiografico almeno in parte

Überraschend abwechslungsreich...

Reviewed in Germany on March 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

Das Buch wurde bei uns anlässlich einer Lesung in der Stadtbibliothek vorgestellt (so wurde ich darauf aufmerksam).
Eine im späteren Verlauf etwas tragische Geschichte, die jedoch auch oft zum Schmunzeln anregt. Ich habe das Buch mit französischen Sprachkenntnissen der Stufe B1 lesen können. Teils etwas mühevoll, aber zum großen Teil flüssig. Erstaunlich ist die Phantasie, mit der der Autor das Umfeld schildert, ohne - wie so oft bei solchen Beschreibungen - Gähneffekte auszulösen.

Original and Refreshing - definitely one to check out!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

I selected this book with a bit of uncertainty and unsure if it would be my cup of tea. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. It is a strange story about a family where at the start 'normality' does not seem to really exist. Decadence and extravagence seem to be at the core of the lifestyle and there seems to be no end to their luxurious parties with high-profile acquaintances. However in the mix of this, there are real-life issues, such as debt, education and the most prominent being mental health. The book is narrated by both father and son who are both coping with the mental health problems of the problem and the style is so refreshing, and at times so matter-of-fact, that you would nearly think the child is an adult. A real gem of a book and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who needs a little originality on their bookshelf.
