Skimmer
1996
L'oratorio de Noël
Romans, nouvelles
Piétinée par un troupeau de vaches, Solveig, la soprano, ne pourra prendre sa place à Sunne dans l'Oratorio de Noël. Autour de ce drame fondateur va s'orchestrer, dans la Suède de notre siècle, le destin de trois générations de Nordensson - leurs tribulations, leurs rêves, leurs souffrances, leurs transgressions et leurs désirs visionnaires, qui au fil du récit se déploient en un véritable oratorio. Car tel est le motif de ce roman foisonnant, intense et lyrique, qui nous entraîne aux confins de l'éblouissement, de la folie, de la mort et de l'amour, et qui valut à Göran Tunström la consécration en Suède, lors de sa parution en 1983, puis en France (Actes Sud, 1987).
