Murder

  • Say nothing : a true story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland

    Creator

    Keefe, Patrick Radden

    Abstract

    In December 1972, Jean McConville, a thirty-eight-year-old mother of ten, was dragged from her Belfast home by masked intruders, her children clinging to her legs. They never saw her again. Her abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach.

    Abstract

    Au départ c'est un jeu. Une manière de tuer le temps. Trouver une proie, en l'occurrence une conductrice esseulée sur une route de campagne, puis la prendre en chasse. Faire crisser les pneus sur l'asphalte, serrer de près sa voiture pour le plaisir de voir sur son visage les traits de la frayeur. Les jours sont longs pour Mike, Jeff, Jimmy, Lucky Strike et compagnie; la vie est grise dans leur ville-dortoir, entre fermetures d'usines, marasme économique et misère sexuelle. C'est normal de vouloir s'amuser un peu...
