September. The month is preferred. The month of the year is sufficient in itself. It is no longer quite the summer not quite yet fall. Month independent sports with the sun and rain. Insinuates itself between the red and orange tones. A book in hand, we can only contemplate the nature changes slowly. A little bewildered by the molting of the landscape, it is also reading the news of Vincent Thibault, Purity.

The title story introduces us to a violent underground world, which is the Tokyo subway. We are witnessing the rat race of a man responsible for the sarin gas attack killing countless people. The author addresses the offense, he described the pathetic condition of the victims, when suddenly a unexpected happens ... Narrative A new air we take a deep lesson in humility. Ajim-sensei, sixty-six, "the Chinese gymnastics taught in the basement of a small local church. A morning of great storm, waiting for his students, he "laid eyes" on the old electric organ. After discovering a book about the joy of playing this instrument, he decided to improvise and every week, he practiced his "little directory" ... A year later, going to the chapel, he can only see the flames ravaging the place where he spent so many hours serene ... What will the teacher learned that the fire started "following an electrical problem with the organ. ? We particularly appreciated the story entitled animated. An old man who visits his brother, stopping before a window of Chanel, located on the chic Avenue Louise. He is fascinated by a woman, eyes watching the clouds. The next day a "great blond in full luxury" stands beside her. Every day, the old Japanese Avenue Louise back to contemplate the motionless woman in the window, the blonde at his side to whom he felt a fleeting jealousy. Then after making a symbolic dream, he noticed the feet of the woman a "gold plate" on which the store asks an employee ... About in the shark teeth, we read the letter that a young Japanese wrote to his father, he explains how he became acquainted with Myriam, his future wife. After some adventures, the piece of a futile and broken into two tiny object has united in a harmonious affection. Other disturbing news, Naomi. Leaving his elder brother, Masaru, surprised by a violent thunderstorm, took refuge in an abandoned tower. While contemplating the architecture of the place, Naomi, a young black woman appears before him, leaving him puzzled. How is it coming in the tower? An aura of mystery around her fleet that will change Masaru until the denouement.

These new texts bring us back to the author's special talent to be savored from book to book. But in this collection, is not that the rub? The press release informs us, and we quote: "The challenge was launched Vincent Thibault with this project was to write a book that could be signed by a Japanese." Even if these texts are full of unspoken a mental shake distinguishing characters, the illusion did not work. It would have taken more votes stammering, timid whispers, shadows moving, especially more evocative silences to create a Japanese feel, as we see in the work of Yukio Mishima, Yoko Ogawa, Aki Shimazaki that. It is not enough to dress up fictitious creatures of Asian names for impregnating a culture so removed from ours. The last story, The walker, out of context, seems most appropriate to reproduce the good intentions of Vincent Thibault. The invigorating style, inimitable author, should be at the service of a literature of its own and not wanting to distinguish a civilization six thousand years.

However, we recommend reading the new impetuous to enjoy the talent of Vincent Thibault, originality punchy. Tactics of its themes, its recalcitrant actors that inspire so beautifully.
