Quand l’empereur était un dieu de Julie Otsuka
Le mercredi 20 octobre 2004 par dominique Blancho
Roman très court qui relate l’histoire peu connue des camps d’internement ouverts par le FBI à la suite de l’attaque de Pearl Harbor. Des millers d’américains d’origine japonaise furent internés de 1941 à 1945. Cela est dit avec des mots secs, glacés. Mais il s’en dégage une sérénité peu commune qui fait de ce livre un témoignage bouleversant.
