L'enfant sauvage
1797. Dans une forêt du Languedoc, des chasseurs capturent un garçon errant, nu et hirsute. Qui est-il, cet "enfant sauvage", aussi dépourvu, semble-t-il, d''âme et de raison qu''une bête ? Après avoir été exhibé tel un monstre de foire, il est finalement abandonné à son incurable sauvagerie. Seul le docteur Itard s''entête à croire que de cet "animal" il saura faire un homme. Des années durant, l''enfant, rebaptisé Victor, va subir l''apprentissage de la civilisation sous la férule de son maître. Dans ce récit, bref et intense, T. C. Boyle s''empare de la célèbre histoire de Victor de l''Aveyron, qui inspira aussi l''un de ses plus beaux films à François Truffaut. Inhabituellement bref et émouvant, L''Enfant sauvage voit le satiriste enragé se muer en poète et trouver dans l''empathie un antidote à sa coutumière causticité.
