Utopia

Still a nice shot Obertone signed. Honest work, meticulous, hard, to one hundred miles away from any form of literary scam. I had not thought too early, fearing to find some kind of sordid little profitable trade. But it is actually a very, very good book. But for that, we must go through.

The first part is a powerful work of reconstruction of the massacre of Utoya, from the inside of the head of the killer. And although the death toll extracted with autopsy report is a bit laborious, exercise is well done and often freezes the blood. This part is long and it must be said, sometimes repetitive. But Obertone wants to cover every minute of the massacre, so there is no choice.

Then comes the part simulation of thought, very disturbing. Obertone has swallowed the manifesto of 1500 pages of Breivik and tries again to slip into the diseased brain (but consistent) the killer. Mental isolation, simplistic Manichaeism, rampant megalomania, fantasy heroism deadly certainties node, hatred of the other crystallized ideology of domination, ultra-mapping power relations ... The system is a closed Breivik but stable and secure system itself, and within this system there are only self-glorification and destruction of the other. Both say a deadlock, after which there is only death, that of others, and thus his.

Obertone has succeeded, although emulation of a killer spirit will remain an always more or less imperfect exercise. But we really fit in, it feels better understand the psychopathology of mass murderers to Breivik sauce. The end is very successful.

And for those who, after "France Clockwork Orange" believe detected in this work a form of coverage to allow Obertone to express ideas through the delusions of the killer, they obviously have not understood anything.
