Parmi la ribambelle de polars distrayants et pas du tout instructifs que j\u2019ai lus pendant l\u2019hiver se sont gliss\u00e9s quelques petits tr\u00e9sors, dont un livre beau, singulier et intense sign\u00e9 Richard Powers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beau\u00a0: les descriptions des nombreuses exp\u00e9ditions de plong\u00e9e men\u00e9es par l\u2019oc\u00e9anographe Evie et de son amour ind\u00e9fectible pour la vie sous-marine sont tout simplement \u00e9blouissantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singulier : Richard Powers, dont les r\u00e9cits n\u2019ont rien d\u2019ordinaire, s\u2019int\u00e9resse \u00e0 des sujets souvent tr\u00e8s pointus et \u00e0 des personnages hors norme. C\u2019est le cas de Todd et Rafi, deux esprits effervescents, passionn\u00e9s du jeu de go, qui partageront une amiti\u00e9 profonde pour ensuite en venir \u00e0 croiser le fer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Intense : l\u2019auteur est visiblement troubl\u00e9, voire alarm\u00e9, par le sort que l\u2019humain fait subir \u00e0 sa plan\u00e8te. Il l\u2019exprime avec force, entre autres quand il d\u00e9crit la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration observ\u00e9e dans les oc\u00e9ans.  Un vrai cr\u00e8ve-c\u0153ur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Un jeu sans fin<\/em> est ce qu\u2019on appelle un roman choral, ou polyphonique, du fait que l\u2019histoire est celle de plusieurs personnages racont\u00e9e en parall\u00e8le et en alternance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un des \u00e9diteurs qui ont comment\u00e9 le livre parle ici des personnages : \u00ab Fille d’un ing\u00e9nieur canadien collaborant avec le commandant Cousteau, Evie a douze ans lorsqu’elle attrape le virus de la plong\u00e9e et d\u00e9cide de consacrer sa vie \u00e0 l’exploration des fonds marins. Ina, une artiste polyn\u00e9sienne, compose des sculptures avec des d\u00e9chets plastiques qu’elle glane sur les plages. Peu \u00e0 peu, une \u00e9trange cr\u00e9ature prend forme. Todd et Rafi, deux lyc\u00e9ens am\u00e9ricains que tout oppose, cimentent une intense amiti\u00e9 autour du jeu de go; l’un se perdra dans la litt\u00e9rature, l’autre r\u00e9volutionnera l’intelligence artificielle \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Si j\u2019avais un terme \u00e0 choisir pour d\u00e9crire Un jeu sans fin<\/em>, je dirais que c\u2019est un livre phare. Celles et ceux qui l\u2019ont aim\u00e9 ont peut-\u00eatre per\u00e7u, comme moi, qu\u2019il laissait dans son sillage une lumi\u00e8re particuli\u00e8re… et persistante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
