Stephen Fry in America

Le choc frontal entre Michael Young, thésard en histoire à Cambrige, et le professeur Leon Zuckermann, vieux physicien obsédé par l'une des périodes les plus noires de l'histoire du XXe siècle, va changer l'histoire - littéralement. Mais pour cela, il faut compter également sur une pilule miracle, sur un rival oublié du petit teigneux autrichien et sur la fatale élasticité du temps. Car qui vous dit qu'effacer un tyran améliorerait le cours de l'histoire humaine ? Michael Young va découvrir combien est retorse la destinée, dans une comédie romantique pimentée d'un zeste d'amour gay et bouleversée par un solide suspense science-fictif. Le pire n'est jamais certain, mais le mieux ne se trouve pas forcément non plus là où l'on attendait

Making history

En Angleterre, les acteurs écrivent aussi bien qu'ils jouent la comédie... Ce n'est pas Stephen Fry, aussi efficace à l'écran que la plume à la main, qui fera taire la rumeur. Dans L'Hippopotame, son second roman (après Mensonges, mensonges), il dresse un étrange tableau de famille, sur fond de riche société anglaise, et dévoile en trompe-l'oeil les secrets des uns et les obsessions des autres. Au premier plan, avec cet humour juste et raffiné, teinté d'une méchanceté toute britannique, Fry dépose son hippopotame, Ted Wallace.L'individu aime les femmes, l'argent, le whisky... Snob et acariâtre, ce poète à la plume de fiel compte dans ses relations quatre-vingt-quinze pour cent d'ennemis et cinq pour cent d'amis intéressés. Alors qu'il noie dans l'alcool son échec professionnel au bar d'un club de Soho, il tombe sur Jane, sa filleule, qui lui annonce bientôt qu'elle est atteinte d'une maladie mortelle. Une révélation qui n'aurait guère concerné notre ami Ted si elle n'était suivie d'une proposition : cent mille livres pour enquêter sur un miracle qui aurait eu lieu dans la magnifique propriété de l'oncle de Jane : Michael Logan. Un richissime industriel que Ted connaît bien..

L'Hippopotame

In Making History, Fry has bitten off a rather meaty chunk by tackling an at first deceptively simple premise: What if Hitler had never been born? An unquestionable improvement, one would reason--and so an earnest history grad student and an aging German physicist idealistically undertake to bring this about by preventing Adolf's conception. And with their success is launched a brave new world that is in some ways better than ours--but in most ways even worse. Fry's experiment in history makes for his most ambitious novel yet, and his most affecting. His first book to be set mostly in America, it is a thriller with a funny streak, a futuristic fantasy based on one of mankind's darkest realities. It is, in every sense, a story of our times.
