À propos de cette écoute
Own: The Sad and Like-Wike Weepy Tale of Wittle Elkie Selph comes out of the tradition of Huckleberry Finn, The Catcher in the Rye, and (especially) A Clockwork Orange.
This story of a school shooting in the hills of north-east Georgia is narrated by the 15-year-old shooter, Elkin "Own" Selph, in a jazzed-up style that mixes together Southern dialect, bizarrely inventive terms, and Russian-based words from Burgess' Clockwork Orange.
If Own were to sum up his plight as the novel begins, here is what he would say: "My name is Elkin "Own" Selph, from Tocotano, GA. I love ole Georgie; what's not to love? Not nobody caint not love the good ole sod-off Blue Ridge Mountains of NE Georgie. Thang is, doe, I ain't but wah-plach 15, and I got me like-wike real horrorshow woman problems. Now, why did a ding-blinn Glock handgun get into the dits-blitz picture? So here sets ole Own, all on his ownsome-lonesome, in a dark school cafeteria. Surrounded by scads of like-wike blinn-dead classmates. Bam bam bam bam. Quid nunc? Now what?"
