Description
L'un photographe aux ambitions frustrées, l'autre pigiste payé au lance-pierre, Klein et Vasconcelos sont deux journalistes ratés. Jusqu'au jour où ils décident d'arnaquer le système en inventant de pseudo-reportages pour squatter les plus beaux hôtels du monde. C'est le début d'une cavale qui les mène de l'île de Jura à Dubaï en passant par Bakou, Bogota et fi nalement Zanzibar, où la police les retrouve morts sur une plage. Que leur est-il arrivé ? Comment se débrouillaient-ils pour escroquer leurs hôtes ? Et surtout, étaient-ils de simples voyous, des artistes d'un genre nouveau, ou les dénonciateurs d'un consumérisme aveugle ? Telles est l'énigme Klein-Vasconcelos. Mais derrière la satire d'un certain milieu journalistique, l'odyssée délirante de ces deux imposteurs - ou visionnaires - en pose une autre: et si nos existences n'étaient sauvées de l'absurdité qu'à condition d'être transformées en récit ?Journaliste et romancier, Thibault de Montaigu a notamment publié chez Fayard Les grands gestes la nuit (2010).
