After Lomer and Blanca is a great joy to get to know their son, Peter, announced at the end of the previous novel, Blanca holy . Lomer and Blanca died. Rosary, brother of Blanca, who supported their son was swept away by the terrible disease of Alzheimer's. Having no other family, Pierre was placed in an orphanage, an institution where children, full of pills, used sex toys to the priests who supposedly care for them. Abused, raped, children have no alternative but to themselves become torturers and rapists ... To escape this unbearable situation, symbolized by the state, Peter has found a notebook, a pen, "was written by my father," and described the possible existence of his alter ego. Influenced by the religious world that shelters, he sees his double in a Jesus modern, sensual, gathering around him the worst characters he meets in a bar or in the stinking mess of some sidewalks. It will make these men and women lost, his apostles infidels. Among them, Mary Magdalene, M & M, an itinerant, depicted in a few pages, not unlike the late Gueuse, beloved wife of Lomer. Wink related to one of the finest portraits of an old woman prostitute in literature ... There is also Aperitif, host of famous black a TV show - hello, Oprah Winfrey ! - Jude, a bartender at Full Moon rival untimely M & M. It was understood at the hour of his ordeal, Judas will betray Peter, the next Christ. Thus, until the death of Peter Jesus, Peter the Orphan imagine a life insane to one who must save the world. A Christ anarchic, drunken, rapist, pedophile. Perverted world where the state, depicted as an ugly man, "with the syphilitic skin" occurs at inopportune moments. When the state directs the orphans to leave, get married and have lots of children, preferably boys, we read in the story of Peter, a parody creaky dark years of Quebec where couples undergoing edifying law of Holy Church. Walk right to better men and women submit to the despotism of unworthy priests.
Jesus When Peter died, "condemned to death by lethal injection," Peter the orphan should pack up and wait on the sidewalk Tan, his future wife named by the State. With a contagious jubilation, Pierre Gariépy exposes a Quebec today ignored the younger generation. Miracles doubtful orgiastic binge drinking, the empty desert, a woman stoned, the Sermon on the Mount, The Last Supper, serve as an outlet to castigate those responsible of a bygone era but how this collective memory. The last chapter, where Peter and Tan marry, evokes the deep distress of a couple enslaved to a man for whom State Peter will call the speech. It is none other than the ugly, "Deputy Minister of the People", Demonic man who takes advantage of the absence of Pierre, will abuse Tan and Lili, their little girl. Led by the voice unrecognizable Tan, Peter avenge this heinous act. For their loss or for peace, one does not go without the other. "Free to live or die ... "
There was no mention of the tribute that Pierre Gariépy makes women, especially to those countries engaged in policies and outdated traditions. In Palestine, the author hopes to "free standing. The novel brought a poetic writing and how inventive, always at the limit of a scathing irony, tempered by the tenderness of desperate young narrator. If Peter splits is to expose the folly of the powerful, who will inaugurate a new stubbornly refuses the resurrection of Christ. With a prodigious talent as a storyteller, and the persuasive voice of Peter the Orphan, Pierre Gariépy ridicules the religious rites and myths which, we guess, he learned to rebel, to refuse a world sanitized, boring. Fable insured against all the stultifying shackles humans, revealing their original condition or innocence. At each of seeking a tiny flower growing between the stones disjointed.
This trilogy interrupting a polysemic way, we thank Pierre Gariépy have created a handful of people as subversives, so human. Generous. They have given us hours of tasty reading. We thank André Vanasse have dared to publish a work so daring, Josée Bonneville, who took over ... We draw the curtain on a show in progress. The memory Lomer, Blanca, Peter, we will live longer.
