destin place sur son chemin Hercule, un naïf garçon de ferme qui tombe peu à peu amoureux de la jeune femme. Tout semble innocent, mais bientôt lennui menace et tout se détraque lorsque entre en scène la vénale Patricia, actrice de porno bien décidée à les convertir à de plus actuelles activités. Puis le récit bascule. Hercule (devenu Jean-Claude) et Angélique sont en voyage de noces à bord dun paquebot magnifique, véritable monde flottant conçu pour divertir des milliers de passagers. Pourtant cette parenthèse maritime senraye, la grogne monte jusquà la mutinerie improbable des clients en transe. Il est temps pour nos deux amoureux de rejoindre le château de la jeune femme pour un final des plus délirant. Dans ce roman dune prodigieuse inventivité, Patrice Pluyette nous convie à une grande fête des sens avec une incroyable liberté de ton. Se jouant des codes et des lieux communs de la littérature, il nen crée pas moins une comédie de mœurs tour à tour riante, incisive, nostalgique et grave. Il sen dégage une étonnante réflexion sur la société actuelle." -- 4e de couvAll hat: a novel
