An anthology of True Crime...Some strange disappearances...Some unsolved murders... For many musicians, becoming famous is part of the dream of making music. While some musicians don't ever truly reach their peak until long after their death, others become famous for far different reasons other than the songs they create. Imagine pouring your heart and soul into your music, only to have people remember you for something far more insidious.The particular disappearance of an American songwriter has stumped and intrigued people for decades. Of course, the disappearance of Jim Sullivan seemed to be of more note than any of his other accomplishments. Those who hadn't heard of Jim Sullivan are in good company, as not many had heard for Jim Sullivan before he disappeared. No one knows where he went, what happened to him, or if there's still hope of ever understanding how he disappeared.

"Tanguy Viel's parody/pastiche of the American novel is subtle and experimental; it tells a story at the same time as it implicitly poses questions about the narrative structure it is deploying." —The French Review In The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan, disappearance is both a theme and a stylistic device. Indeed, this publication narrates the disappearance of Dwayne Koster, who, fascinated by the story of Jim Sullivan, commits suicide in the New Mexico desert which was the setting of the rocker’s disappearance in 1975. But this novel is for the most part set in the metanarrative tale of its own genesis, and, as a result, is partially eclipsed: its -fictitious- author doesn’t relate it in its entirety and keeps adding bits and pieces of first drafts and preliminary sketches to his text, thus blurring its boundaries. Tanguy Viel’s work can therefore be perceived as a double response, existential and aesthetic, to the question of the end.

Du jour où j'ai décidé d'écrire un roman américain, il fut très vite clair que beaucoup de choses se passeraient à Detroit, Michigan, au volant d'une vieille Dodge, sur les rives des grands lacs. Il fut clair aussi que le personnage principal s'appellerait Dwayne Koster, qu'il enseignerait à l'université, qu'il aurait cinquante ans, qu'il serait divorcé et que Susan, son ex-femme, aurait pour amant un type qu'il détestait. « Il ne faut pas s’y tromper : malgré les apparences, Tanguy Viel n’a pas écrit un roman américain, mais une fiction typiquement made in France. Toute de références, de clins d’œil et d’ironie. Avec pour décor en trompe-l’œil les États-Unis, leur littérature et ses poncifs. [...] De tout cela surgit un véritable petit joyau littéraire. Assurément le livre le plus enlevé de Tanguy Viel, formidable exercice d’écriture et de lecture critique. Se déployant sur deux niveaux à parts égales : la tenue d’une fiction américaine, à laquelle ne manque aucun des accessoires convenus de l’appareillage narratif ; un travail systématique de distanciation qui en exhibe les tics et les habitudes paresseuses. » (Jean-Claude Lebrun, L’Humanité) « La jubilation qui naît de ce roman, le sourire qui ne nous quitte jamais tient entre autres à ce qu'on se laisse mener par un narrateur qui joue avec le conditionnel, le futur ou le passé [...]. Des ellipses feront deviner. Ou bien des fins de chapitre qui ménagent le suspense, comme il convient dans toute fiction américaine, qu'elle soit écrite ou filmée. L'art de Tanguy Viel repose sur sa passion du cinéma. [...] Cinématographique jusque dans le développement de la phrase. Elle tourne, elle ressasse, elle emprunte à l'oral, elle joue du retardement, laissant exploser le mot final, celui qu'on attendait avec l'impatience de l'enfant qui écoute un conteur, à la fois inquiet et joyeux. » (Norbert Czarny, La Quinzaine littéraire) Ce roman est initialement paru en 2013.

An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Frères Ennemis focuses on Franco-American tensions as portrayed in works of literature from approximately the mid-nineteenth-century to the present. An Introduction is followed by nine chapters, each focused on a French or American literary text which shows the evolution/devolution of the relations between the two nations at a particular point in time. While the heart of the analysis consists of close textual readings, social, cultural and political contexts are introduced to provide a better understanding of the historical reality influencing the individual novels, a reality to which these novels are also responding. Chapters One through Five, covering a period from the mid-1870s to the end of the Cold War, discuss significant aspects of the often fraught relationship from the theoretical perspective of Roland Barthes’ theory of modern myth, described in his Mythologies. Barthes’ theory helps situate Franco-American tensions in a paradigmatic structure, while at the same time it is supple enough to allow for shifts and reversals within the paradigm. Subsequent chapters explore new French attitudes toward the powerful, potentially dominant influence of American culture on French life. In these sections I argue that recent French fiction displays more openness to the American experience than has existed in the past, and as such contrasts with the more static American approach to French culture.

In this shrewd, timely novel with the allure of old-school noir, an aging boxer and his daughter fight back against political corruption and sexual abuse. At 40, the great boxer Max Le Corre was enjoying a renaissance, back at the top of the ticket after a long absence. When he wasn’t in the ring, he worked as a driver for the mayor, Quentin Le Bars. Above all, he was a father to Laura, his 20-year-old daughter who recently returned home after trying her hand at modeling. Quentin had helped Max when he was down on his luck, a seemingly washed-up fighter, and now Max hoped he would help Laura find her bearings in town. But Laura’s meeting with Quentin reveals a darker side to the politician, setting in motion a chain of events that will pit Max against his benefactor. With deceptively simple, evocative prose, Tanguy Viel has crafted a brilliant takedown of the power imbalances that allow #MeToo situations to occur and fester.

Nominiert für die Hotlist 2014! Das Leben war schon mal netter zu Dwayne Koster, und so besieht er sich die Welt nun vorzugsweise von seinem Wagen aus und hört dabei Musik von Jim Sullivan. Das neue Buch von Tanguy Viel ist ein Roman hinter dem Roman. Eine hochkomische, sehr unterhaltsame Parodie ebenso wie eine Hommage an den amerikanischen Roman. Dwayne Koster ist ein amerikanischer Literaturprofessor um die fünfzig. Er lebt in der verrottenden Autostadt Detroit (der passend depressiven Kulisse für seine große Krise), er ist geschieden, hat ein Techtelmechtel mit einer unglaublich jungen Studentin, und seine Exfrau Susan hat sich ausgerechnet mit seinem größten Widersacher eingelassen. Kommt Ihnen das irgendwie bekannt vor? Gewiss kein Zufall, denn der Erzähler ist ein französischer Autor, der einen Roman nach amerikanischem Vorbild schreiben will, um endlich berühmt zu werden. Was fehlt ihm also noch, diesem Dwayne in der Midlifecrisis, zum amerikanischen Romanhelden? Eine klare zeitgenössische Verankerung (der Tod Kennedys, der 11. September, der Irakkrieg), ein Hang zum Alkohol und zum Glücksspiel, endlose Highways, die passende Filmmusik und maskuline Selbsterfahrung in freier Natur. Doch während der Erzähler sich selbst beim Erfinden eines Romans zuschaut, muss er erleben, wie seine Figuren lebendig werden und sich auf und davon machen. Wie in einem gekrümmten Spiegel reflektiert dieser intelligente und sehrkomische Roman sich selbst, er dehnt und verzerrt, quetscht und überzeichnet. Virtuos und höchst unterhaltsam bespielt Tanguy Viel seine parodistische Klaviatur.
