"On the heart" ,
Arson's first novel
This new novel in French literature is described by the author as a social thriller, it is a journey among today's humans, in their present, jostled by daily necessities, cramped in the space left to them by a world that has become uncontrolled.
<<This first novel "on the heart">> was born from the feeling that for about forty years, humans have no longer been at the center of political issues as they were at the end of the Second World War. They have become a monetary value, a value of profitability, a consumer. The primary values of exchange and solidarity are replaced by laws and organizations, supposed to correct the abandonment and selfishness that the law of the market (labor or financial) exacerbates, but by aggravating loneliness, to the point that our leaders invent the neighborhood party, the music festival and a whole bunch of entertainment, like football, the supreme indicator of the moral state of the country. The need for overconsumption to keep the system going induces individual criminal behavior and leads to an increasingly violent society.
A cry from what many have on their hearts. A reality of the present time.
