C'est l'histoire d'une enfance instrumentalisée par Ceaucescu, trop content de coiffer les gymnastes soviétiques au poteau et par un coach avide de gloire internationale. C'est l'histoire d'une petite fille salie par le regard ambigu des adultes qui lui volent son enfance. Read it for my work bookclub, and while I don't regret reading it and what the author was trying to say was interesting, I found it incredibly frustrating. Reading fiction based on a real person and real events just means that I spend more time watching videos and googling things then actually reading the book. I want to know the facts, the fictional stuff just ends up annoying me. > En 1976, le monde découvre la suprématie des gymnastes roumaines aux J.O. de Montréal quand la petite prodige Nadia Comaneci obtient la note suprême. Un 10 qui fait buguer le panneau électronique, incapable de l’afficher. Pur produit du régime communiste de Ceausescu, entraînée par un coach tyrannique et paternel à la fois, Nadia Comaneci est restée un mystère. Lola Lafon imagine une destinée parmi toutes les réalités possibles en remplissant les blancs de l’histoire et les silences de la jeune fille. Grand écart ou salto, on se délecte de cette biographie fantasmée et on suit le chemin douloureux de la sportive, de sa ville natale d’Onesti à son exil aux Etats-Unis. « La petite communiste qui ne souriait jamais », de Lola Lafon, Actes Sud, 318 p. —Valérie Fournier (Femina) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

An award-winning novel powerfully re-imagines a childhood in the spotlight of history, politics, and destiny. Montreal 1976. A fourteen-year-old girl steps out onto the floor of the Montreal Forum and into history. Twenty seconds on uneven bars is all it takes for Nadia Comaneci, the slight, unsmiling child from Communist Romania, to etch herself into the collective memory. The electronic scoreboard, astonishing spectators with what has happened, shows 1.0. The judges have awarded an unprecedented perfect ten, the first in Olympic gymnastics, though the scoreboard is unable to register anything higher than 9.9. In The Little Communist Who Never Smiled, Lola Lafon tells the story of Comaneci's journey from growing up in rural Romania to her eventual defection to the United States in 1989. Adored by young girls in the west and appropriated as a political emblem by the Ceausescu regime, Comaneci's life was scrutinized wherever she went. Lafon's fictionalized account shows how a single athletic event mesmerizes the world and reverberates across nations. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
