« Quand vous craquez une allumette, la première nanoseconde elle s'enflamme avec une puissance qu'elle ne retrouvera jamais. Un éclat instantané, fulgurant. L'incandescence originelle.En 1980, j'ai été l'allumette. Cette année-là , je me suis embrasé pour n'être plus qu'une flamme aveuglante. »The Rise and The FallRobert Goolrick a l'art d'évoquer la moindre parcelle de beauté brillant dans les recoins les plus sombres de ses personnages. Depuis ses premiers écrits publiés en France (Une Femme simple et honnête, Féroces, Arrive un vagabond), et à l'occasion de la publication de ce nouveau livre, on (re)découvre le talent de l'auteur quand il s'agit de sublimer la mélancolie qui consument ses protagonistes.De l'étourdissement de l'apesanteur...La chute des Princes est la chronique brutale d'une désillusion, la chute d'un homme, comme un écho à la folle vision d'un monde désenchantée que celui d'American Psycho de Bret Easton Ellis (mais sans le côté névrosé et psychopathe de Patrick Bateman !).... à la morsure abrasive du macadamIci, l'outrecuidance et la désinvolture du héros sont décrites avec toute la grâce qui sied à l'écriture de Robert Goolrick. Il parvient très rapidement à rendre "Rooney" attachant, à nous transmettre en filigrane l'amour qui l'habite et le hante.Du conte de fée aux comptes de finUn personnage qui devient rapidement au fil des pages très charismatique, certainement pas en quête de rédemption mais qui semble s'en approcher malgré lui. L'occasion d'adapter un proverbe chinois, qui donnerait : « Il n'y a de chemin vers la rédemption, la rédemption est le chemin. »Le chemin de Robert Goolrick est constituer d'un autre superbe roman qui nous permet d'appréhender un peu plus la mécanique Goolrick.C'est mon coup de cœur de la rentrée littéraire 2014.Frédéric Fontès, 4decouv
No doubt about it. Robert Goolrick is one of the best novelists - no, make that writers - working today and it is completely mysterious to this reader why this novel has not shot to the top of the bestseller lists nor why it appears to be largely unread? Perhaps it is simply too "close to the bone?" In essence, this is a story of how money corrupts and lots of it corrupts absolutely. "Rooney," the narrator, is flying to L.A., for the weekend, lounging about the Beverly HIlls Hotel, to Vegas for a friend's bachelor party, drinking, drugging and having sex all night and working all day, making millions and spending more and, eventually, he simply cannot keep it together.Others have outlined the plot - New York, circa early 1980's - the excess, the hubris of those who rode in limousines with blacked-out windows, parking within two steps of the entrance to anywhere the passenger desired, the long black car waiting, cocaine, booze and sex in the backseat with the limo driver waiting and probably watching.Eventually, too much is really too much, even for the principals of the "Firm," a brokerage firm, who demand 80 hour work weeks and results - money, money, money. Rooney's excesses lead to the inevitable and he is fired, his monetary lifeline severed. Unable to capitulate, even after his wife has taken everything liquid or which could potentially become liquid, he moves into a luxury hotel until the bills come due and when he cannot pay, he is forced to return to the rat infested apartment he occupied when he first came to New York.The narrative of this novel parallels the excesses of the late 1980's "Greed is Good," and the subsequent consequences of the credo, "Sex is Good." Rooney has testosterone to burn. Literally. In a cocaine and booze haze, he takes sex where he finds it and the more he does it, the more he likes it. In unisex bathrooms with both genders. Even as friends and acquaintances are diagnosed with AIDS, Rooney, self destructive to the core, just keeps heading south.This is not an easy book to review as it simply Does. Not. Stop. It is Sad in every way. That being said, it is so compelling I am going to do something I rarely do: start over and read it again. An undiscovered classic. Spread the word. This book deserves every accolade and a place on the best novels of the decade lists!
I'm not going to rehash the subject matter of this novel; it's all been said by others as well or better than I could put into words. I have read and loved every single book Goolrick has written and this one was as good as it gets. This is a powerful novel. His words are magical, putting you right next to the characters through their highs and lows. I well remember the days of the "bond daddies" in the 80's and even dated one for a very short period of time. He scared the hell out of me and I ran the other way. Such excess and too much crazy! This story will hang on in my mind for a long, long time. Buy the book, read it; you won't be disappointed!
I have read Robert Goolrick's two previous novels, HEADING OUT TO WONDERFUL and A RELIABLE WIFE. If I had still been doing a top twenty List Mania for Amazon, I would have put both of them on the list for the year they were published.Alhough not as readable as the previous two, THE FALL OF PRINCES is more significant in that it addresses an ongoing controversy: how rich do you have to be before enough is enough? Rooney, the major character in the novel, works as a Wall Street trader. At one point he does well enough to earn a “yard and a half†bonus at the end of the year. A yard is a million dollars. But, alas, the partying got to him and he was fired, ending up working as a manager for Barnes and Noble.Rooney never wanted to be a Wall Street wheeler dealer. He had a fellowship to work on his art in Europe for two years. He thought his work was crap and took his father's advise and went to business school. But business school didn't get him his job; the Firm he went to work for didn't take investments under ten million dollars. He got his job because he beat his boss at a poker hand. You'll have to read the book to find out how he did that.There's also lots of sex involved in the book; Rooney wasn't very selective at the height of the AIDS epidemic; he was bi-sexual, although he does not mention any of his male partners. He was also married to one of the richest women in high society. She ditched him when he got fired, but he claims he'll always love her. We meet her again, but she doesn't seem all that lovable to me.Rooney really isn't such a bad guy. He forms a relationship with a transexual prostitute named Holly, and they become platonic friends. She works on the street when it's kind of cold out, and he let's her warm up in his apartment once or twice a week. She even cleans his ratty apartment without being asked. Ultimately she tells him she's fallen in love. Again. She ruined her first relationship when her lover gave her money to have the operation, and she spent it on a couple of sailors she met on the way. Who has she fallen in love with? It's Rooney, and he considers it the highest compliment he's ever received. And when he gets down, he knows that somebody loves him. Inexplicably she disappears right after she tells him.The ending is rather confusing. Rooney insists on buying good sheets, the one rich person habit he refuses to give up; at one point he says only one part of his bed gets mussed. So then he's asexual, right? But when he meets his ex-wife, Carmela, at the book store, he tells her he's a homosexual, but he's not any good at it. He was much better with women. So, is he or isn't he?I've read an uncomplimentary review about this book, but I get the impression that the author has some experience in this milieu, if his acknowledgments mean anything. So we get to learn something about Wall Street that confirms the old saw: money won't make you happy.
A powerful tale, beautifully written, and well told. A story of skill, intelligence, drive, success and eventual destruction that with a cruel swiftness took hold of a young mans life. New York City in the 1980's when young financial masters of the universe succumbed to the moral decay of unbridled success. Hedonistic living, unrestrained indulgence and eventual destruction mixed with pathos, humor and a genuine sense of hope and decency. The Fall of Princes is a tribute to the powerful literary gifts of Robert Goolrick and it will stay with you for a long, long time.
The Reliable Wife was a great read that I have recommended to friends. I expected as much from Goolrick's The Fall Of Princes but am very disappointed. I trudged through the depressing saga hoping with each chapter that there would be some bounce but that didn't happen.
