We July 22, 2011.
And nothing will be as before.
Sirens sounding in Oslo before the H-Block. Relief bustle among the wounded. But the police, her dark elsewhere. A forty kilometers, the Delta Forces tackle D'Utoya island where the Labour Party meets its young activists. Summer camp, there remains a nightmare body and blood, tears and cries. The bodies of dozens of young pierced mark out the path of love and the shores of the island. The wounded screaming barely more than the survivors of the carnage. Doctors, surgeons and other nurses do not know where to head and scalpel.
On Utoya, the beautiful tranquil island, there is nothing left.
If this is a man with blond hair and a look of iron, an anonymous Norwegian far.
Utøya, it remains Anders Breivik, the Templar knight.

Laurent Obertone detonated recently with his controversial essay published by Ring Publishing, France Clockwork Orange. As inevitable after this study of ultra-violence, his second book, a novel this time, is interested in the largest massacre in Norway since WWII. But not this time of trial. After documenting and even his surdocumenté writes about Breivik and his actions, a strong novel Obertone book of over 400 pages. A novel in which to speak Breivik, where he immersed himself in the character to tell us Utoya from his preparations to trial and imprisonment through the massacre on the island, lived ball by ball, minute by minute. Simply titled Utoya, the book that will make rustling the literary world during this literary season, it's him. Welcome to the world of a killer masses and dreams.

Obertone chooses the ascent by the north face. No chronological order, not the preamble to ask Breivik. Early on, the reader finds himself in the company of Nilsen, an over-armed police who approaches the island of Utoya to "secure" the scene following the bomb attack in Oslo. Actually protector is the gravedigger who land under the policeman's mask. Quickly, the first smacking sound, the first victims fell, mowed. During these early chapters almost endless, the author describes the action minute by minute Breivik on the island. He counts his victims one by one, interrupting the narrator Breivik with crosses indicating the dead and the path of the balls. This repetitive rhythm, almost unpleasant reading, gives the staccato of horror. A mechanical slaughter, cold, without any feeling almost. Almost, because Breivik will be our guide. No external narrator in the book of Obertone, here is the killer that guides us is in his head as one enters. Between shots, he shares his anxieties about his fear of failure, or his desire to become a hero. On foot walk ahead with him face to Marxism. One begins the game of slaughter, the taste of blood. Never stopping on the victims, one first hears the voice of the killer and only version. Only the death toll stops this plunge into the brutality and horror. That's the bitter end until Obertone chooses to talk about one of the most incredible massacres ever.

It would have been very easy to deal with Anders Breivik by an essay or a novel in the third person. Easy to scare and terrorize recounting acts, the trial and the manifesto of the killer. Everyone has been shocked by the sheer terror of his act, whether through newspapers or news reports. Obertone But is not this writer species. Utoya immerses us in the character of Breivik, not to the calf or to the waist, but until the neck until lasphyxie risk. Obertone adopt, embrace the killer to better capture its essence and represent it. After the killing and arrest, Breivik continues to speak to us, keeps us further expose his trial, his motivations and vision. At the risk of losing the reason, the author develops the message of Breivik. Far from making an immediate foil, it makes a kind of confidant of the player, a brother in arms. It actually arises in Breivik and indeed a hero. An absolute sense because, in the eyes of Norwegian, there are other heroes in this world than him. For tens of pages, it vibrates with him on his anger and his views of sizes. You enter the character, in complete darkness. Between verses about courage, purity and fear of Islamization, Breivik digress. Always. Increasingly during the same story. He talks about his vision of women, misogynist and utilitarian desire, his mother and his friends, not counting on his country.

Norway remains at the center of Utoya. From it, a kind of prism of Western society, qu'Obertone will speak. Here is a modern and progressive country, mired in his dreams of "anyone can succeed", and wakes up with a hangover. From drinking yesterday was born a monster unmentionable. Obertone echoed France's Clockwork Orange, or how the cultural mix and judicial laxity creates injustice and rejection, and finally, as an abscess long ignored the monster Breivik. The other side of stinking live together and forced hardliner. Breivik, it is the thesis of the impossible Melting Pot pushed to their limits, a deformed and terrifying reflection of what awaits. Anonymous, the little monster grew up in the shadow of his IQ and his megalomania. But Breivik Obertone sustains in its pages. It is not just found the Devil include her seduction. He can speak, he almost convinces. It vibrates, sometimes we laugh, we tremble for him and with him, you come to agree on certain points - horror of horrors - really obvious (to pass through his imprisonment and the right to trial ultramédiatisé instead of execution). Obertone gets his way, there is not a book about Breivik nor for Breivik, but Breivik.

But this quasi-idealization of the killer by itself will crack. Breivik sometimes falls into the logorrhée and pukes all his hatred, on women, on Muslims, on Marxist Labor. Between the lines, the charismatic killer turns megalomaniac, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive. We discover the testimonies of survivors between two diatribes, extracts that hurt, that cause bleeding. Who speaks of bullets and amputated limbs in adolescents 15 to 20 years. We also discover the evidence of a psychiatrist and a policeman responding. Trying to understand the nebula Breivik but are only stunned by the utter horror and phenomenal hard he has shown. Norway wanted to believe in the crazy, mentally ill, but in fact psychopath, here to a product of their society and in front ... a man. The devil would be revealed once a man. And it is this blood-curdling to Utoya, qu'Obertone transmits that Breivik was as terrible as his actions, remains a man.

In the last pages in his confinement, Breivik weakens, loses its splendor invincible. One who impressed throughout the novel shows the cracks of his mental foundations. Until this letter we suffered bed, shaking the reader and makes him head out of the water, the storm that nearly engulf us over 400 pages, this mental hurricane named Anders Behring Breivik. Suddenly, the Templar is revealed that a small murderer whose dreams of grandeur have surpassed as something pathetic but disgusting. Obertone and bring us back to reality, to get us out the door of the cell Norwegian will remain there ... for twenty-one years ... at least. Completed the message and the author's tour de force, to restore us Breivik closer to dissect Norway, Western world and its dark corners. Accomplished the feat of making us pay into madness, we sacrifice them with bullets and explosives before we go out, panting and gasping. After closing the book is that killer under ice that we seem relegated to oblivion from which he should never get out. But the book remains there on your shelf, because others will eventually come. We must remember.

With Utoya, Laurent Obertone deals a serious blow. Diehard, borderline as hell, written with a sharp sense of narrative and rhythm, always meticulously documented, the novel will definitely knock, not standing.
A literary earthquake.
