Nove Noites é o sexto livro do jornalista e escritor brasileiro Bernardo de Carvalho. O livro, vencedor do Prêmio Portugal Telecom, é denominado por pesquisadores como uma “metaficação”, isto é, quando um discurso histórico, dado como real, é incorporado à narrativa como uma motivação ficcional. Organizado em 19 capítulos, os leitores percorrem uma narrativa densa e labiríntica em que se busca desvendar os motivos que levaram a morte do antropólogo estadunidense Buell Quain, quando ele esteve no Brasil na década de 1930, ao mesmo tempo em que se busca descobrir o que se passa com o autor-narrador. B. Carvalho a écrit Neuf Nuits avant les trois que j'ai énormément aimés : Mongolie, Ta mère et Le Soleil se couche à Sao Paulo. Lisant celui-ci, j'ai eu l'impression de me trouver devant une sorte de double moins bien réussi de Mongolie. Au-delà de la différence univers de l'Amazonie / univers de la Mongolie, on retrouve le même type de construction mêlant réel et fiction, document retrouvé et narrations multiples. On retrouve aussi les thèmes de la folie, de l'homosexualité et de la culpabilité. S'y ajoute l'influence de Conrad et particulièrement de Lord Jim (mais aussi Au coeur des Ténèbres), influence qui existait peut-être dans les autres romans mais qui ne m'était pas apparue. Bref, si vous ne connaissez pas cet auteur, laissez ce roman et plongez-vous directement dans ses trois autres romans nommés ci-dessus. Et si comme moi, vous les avez déjà lus, vous serez peut-être déçu comme je l'ai été ou intéressé malgré tout car l'ambiance et la construction du roman sont tout de même remarquables. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In August 1939, a brilliant, privileged twenty-seven-year-old American ethnologist commits suicide in Brazil, leaving behind seven letters suggesting different motives. To some he said he had contracted a terrible disease; to others he claimed he could not recover from his wife's affair with his brother (though he was neither married, nor had a brother). Intrigued by the mystery, our narrator gathers the fragmentary evidence and sets out to discover the truth, becoming obsessed, before long, with the idea that there was an eighth letter. Slipping between fact and fiction, reality and illusion, this striking and haunting novel by one of Brazil's most remarkable contemporary writers follwos one man's personal quest for certainty - a mission that slowly drives him mad; a Marlowe haunted by the fate of his own Kurtz.

While each chapter reveals more details that elucidate former questions, some are still left open and even more appear. I would say that the reader must perform their own detective work to properly grasp the book. Someone once said that knowing what to ask is more important than to know the answers, and this book does not give you all the questions.
However, its greatest merit is the interweaving of several parallel stories as the narrator's investigation progresses. Not only does Quain's life resembles that of the narrator's, but his obsession also mirrors the narrator's. Similar stories appear in side characters, and with the constant repetition over time we are led to believe in the cycles. Especially in my experience, since I became obsessed with the book too. ( )
