J’ai lu récemment le dernier roman de David Bry, Échos stellaires, publié aux éditions Fleuve. Et pour une première incursion dans le genre de la SF, on peut dire que c’est réussi. Même imparfait, le roman nous embarque dans une aventure trépidante sur plus de 500 pages, où souffle le vent de la révolte.

[Livre reçu en service de presse, avis non rémunéré.]

Livre posé avec autour des étoiles et un petit vaisseau spatial. La couverture d’Échos stellaires montre un très grand vaisseau spatial entouré de missiles et filant à vive allure dans un ciel orangé et rose.

Death of the author: Treating the author's stated
interpretation of their own work as merely one opinion
among many, rather than the authoritative Word of God.
Disappearance of the author: Treating the context and
circumstances of the work's authorship as entirely
irrelevant with respect to its interpretation, as though
the work had popped into existence fully formed just
moments ago.

Taxidermy of the author: Working backwards from a
particular interpretation of the work to draw
conclusions about what the context and circumstances
of its authorship must have been.

Undeath of the author: Holding the author personally
responsible for every possible reading of their work,
even ones they could not reasonably have anticipated
at the time of its authorship.

Frankenstein's Monster of the author: Drawing
conclusions about authorial intent based on elements
that are present only in subsequent adaptations by
other authors.

Weekend at Bernie's of the author: Insisting that the
author would personally endorse your interpretation of
the work if they happened to be present.

| thought this was going to be a joke, but these are all
very real things you see people do.

I'm never more serious than when I'm joking.

Rated The Dissidents: Autocrats! Vigilantes! Communists! And Cartoonists! 10/10

The book looks great and is up to the usual high standards set by [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s other work. Tons of research obviously went into it and it's lightly fictionalized (to give us a viewpoint character whose life is similar to [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s own ancestors (and whose career has parallels to his own)). I learned a lot of history from this.
