The Algerian war comes to an end when it is given independence, but three enclaves are retained by France. The first Bougie is returned six months later. The initial divergence leading to this parallel world is however more international: But if the title temptingly suggests that imperialist nostalgia is still alive and kicking in France, that's not what it's about. Roland Wagner not only rewrites History but also "lesser" history as, if not more, important - cultural history.
In fact a whole generation of rebellious youth that knows it's destined for the Algerian war through compulsory military service not only deserts, but finds itself driven, even deported by the government to the "colonies", i. This young generation named "vautriens" indolent hippies And they like, listen to and play music, a lot of music. Having perfectly learnt the lesson taught to him by Dick in The Man in the High Castle , Wagner shows us his divergent world through the wrong end of the binoculars, through the eyes of ordinary individuals: There is the occasional first name or surname but all the characters are anonymous narrators of their own little piece of history and, which is admirable, in general we don't get lost in this intermingling of voices, each having its own particular characteristics.
We don't get lost - anyway not a great deal lost - in the time framework. In fact Reves de Gloire is the title of an extremely rare LP by the Glorious Fellaghas, a legendary band playing psychodelic music, and the main narrator obsessively collects and sells records. This character is built up through clues left by several of the anonymous narrators, but what is important is that someone is looking for this record and killing the owners of it. This fake thriller framework - very loose - is a plotline for the novel. There are so many more details I would like to reveal from this rich and complex novel - for example, the IT revolution and P2P systems exist, and Wagner has invented "alternative" terms "use the vole to click on We could also mention the autobiographical aspect, both real - Wagner is well-known in the French Sci-Fi milieu as a musician and a heavy smoker, and imaginary: And finally the mise en abyme of the novel, since in the two brief scenes that frame the novel, at the beginning and at the end, we meet none less than Albert Camus who didn't have an argument with a plane tree on a road in the Yonne in , and plans to write You will have understood that this is a great novel, certainly the best that Roland Wagner has ever written.
We may however wonder what readers in Quebec might get out of it, were they rock and pop fans and knowing about the European history of the second half of the last century. But because of this perhaps, there is a supplementary interest for us here: Each reader can nurture their own nostalgic uchronia. Back to the main public site. La Dentelle du Cygne Roland C. La Dentelle du Cygne. The main pitfall of uchronia is that of formulating the basic premise and then going through all the possible combinations in an often successful list.
The exercise remains a clever one. You have to get past the basic stage of a uchronic exercise, then delve into the novel just as you would a classical work and let yourself be carried along until you are quite naturally immersed. And then everything falls into place and the music becomes a symphony. Roland, with his immense musical knowledge, delights in images that are realistic to the point of veracity. We evolve socially and historically with these characters in this new world. We feel as if we have passed on from the role of reader to actor.
Thank you, Mr Wagner. In order to tell his story, Roland C. Wagner has — brilliantly — constructed an ensemble novel, where the narrator and the many plotlines are always changing. Who would have dared to write a uchronia based on the war in Algeria! Born in Bab El Oued, Roland Wagner has taken 20 years to finish this polyphonic novel which also relates an alternative story of rock, transposing Woodstock to Biarritz! The SF, musical and half a century of news references are enduring, shrewd, and succulent. Because he takes the multiple plot lines from a single point of departure which is not necessarily the most dramatic , Roland Wagner commits himself to an analysis of events that is all the more revealing about our society since it shows that an alternative to current political market logic is possible.
The result is so hyper realistic that there must be a before and after to this uchronia. Here is an ambitious and totally successful novel, a gigantesque narrative puzzle, where history is gradually rewritten with the help of mini stories that ultimately combine to make one great entity.
A novel that needs to be read over and over so that it can be appreciated in all its dimensions and subtlety. Musical — yes, this book is certainly. You may ask if there is a downside. In reply I would say: This is the great novel of a generation that has seen the birth and death by suffocation of counter-culture. It is the lucidity of a writer who succeeds in showing us the parallel between two utopias: It is the book that we know that we will read again as soon as we have finished. At the same time he is head and shoulders above all the egocentric, autofictional and inane so-called writing offered up to us by French editorial production teams of contemporary literature.
He is in touch with the universal yet talks to the individual. The book in its entirety is a colourful polyphony.
