À propos de ce titre
Prix Goncourt du premier roman 2016.
Alger, 1956. Fernand Iveton a trente ans quand il pose une bombe dans son usine. Ouvrier indépendantiste, il a choisi un local à l'écart des ateliers pour cet acte symbolique : il s'agit de marquer les esprits, pas les corps. Il est arrêté avant que l'engin n'explose, n'a tué ni blessé personne, n'est coupable que d'une intention de sabotage, le voilà pourtant condamné à la peine capitale. Si le roman relate l'interrogatoire, la détention, le procès d'Iveton, il évoque également l'enfance de Fernand dans son pays, l'Algérie, et s'attarde sur sa rencontre avec celle qu'il épousa.
Car avant d'être le héros ou le terroriste que l'opinion publique verra en lui, Fernand fut simplement un homme, un idéaliste qui aima sa terre, sa femme, ses amis, la vie - et la liberté, qu'il espéra pour tous les frères humains.
Quand la Justice s'est montrée indigne, la littérature peut demander réparation. Lyrique et habité, Joseph Andras questionne les angles morts du récit national et signe un fulgurant exercice d'admiration.

As an Example
Algeria. A crime, a trial, a verdict, long weeks in jail, execution. Sound familiar? No, this is not L'ÉTRANGER but the real-life case of Fernand Iveton, a communist activist and the only European to be executed in connection with the ultimately successful FLN campaign against French colonialism in North Africa. Camus himself attempted to intercede and plead for clemency. But all appeals were unsuccessful, not because of the magnitude of his crimeâthe bomb he planted was only symbolic and too small to hurt anyone, and he was arrested before it could go offâbut because the government wished to make an example. Franois Mitterand, the justice minister at the time, came to regret his decision, and cited it as one of the reasons why he abolished the death penalty when he became President in 1981. Joseph Andras gave a similar motivation for his novel: to right a wrong knowingly perpetrated by the French state.
The short book, a mere 140 pages, proceeds in alternating chapters. One series moves from November 1956 to February 1957, beginning with Fernand Iveton waiting in the rain to pick up his bomb, and taking him through his arrest, interrogation, and imprisonment. It is difficult reading, partly because of its subject matterâFernand is tortured for days, for example, by a combination of electricity and waterboardingâpartly because of its style, which jumps around without warning between Fernand himself, other activists in the movement, and his wife. Andras freely acknowledges that the facts in these sections come mainly from the book POUR L'EXEMPLE, L'AFFAIRE FERNAND IVETON by Jean-Luc Einaudi, though he arranges them with the sensibility of a novelist, not an historian.
Alternate chapters go back several years in time to Fernand's meeting with the woman who would become his wife, Hélène.
