France, Alternative Libertaire AL #237 - Read Marco Candore, "Real Star" (fr, pt)

Marco Candore signed in the 1980s and 1990s - under the pseudonym Marco Sazzetti - 
Articles for Fighting the monthly of UTCL then for Libertarian Alternative (see! his 
interview ). For several years, Marco Candore explores territories of artistic creation 
with a jubilation which can get an idea by visiting m?canoscope.com where you can see his 
first short film: Lipodrame. ---- But it is his novel which he will be considered in these 
few lines. It is newly released by Kiss my ass editions, and is called Real Star , an 
anarchist experience in literature. We are in 2072 and the action begins with the burning 
of a fire station where all firefighters perish. It does not need less to start on the 
hubcaps, a crazy SF thriller featuring a futuristic society where the absurd grotesque 
Competition. Proof of this is the race for media shallot between on the one hand, the 
president and his interior minister (sic), Brice "Captain" Martel, and, secondly, the 
Fascist Movement and France Still Cool (re-sic ) Boris Hightek. Them a "left" safe, 
without existence and consistency.

In this desolate and depressing political landscape, we strongly draws derision Marco 
Candore, Detective Dick Pussy conducting the investigation. His teammate Eddy Locomotion, 
was massacred - some pages after firefighters - Pussy and has bad. Far from being an 
angel, he even fricoter shamelessly with the Ugly Xi-Xao, a provider of services of all 
kinds for the powerful. Nevertheless, these are the doubles of Lauren Bacall, Eva Bartok, 
INGID Bergman... and Venusian poulpesques, who will seek the support and in turn to bring 
him to choose sides. In this shady world, Dick Pussy, hammettien to death investigation 
and intuition will trace a funny cam coveted by powerful industrial firms, determined to 
do the housework behind their shenanigans. On their way, stand anarchists, bakers 
profession (yes)! "That does not fit" continues to repeat Pussy... and he's right, because 
obviously, everything is connected. The references are numerous, cinema, literature, but 
also to the left extreme culture: multiplying twists, novelist fun and polar codes, like 
many other things besides, are briskly shaken.
