In a city called New York ... In a neighborhood called El Bronx ... The Fernandex children own a very special pet: A white hen named after their favorite Hollywood movie star. A new girl comes to school - a gypsy child who can read palms and foretell the future. A young boy must face the humiliation of wearing his uncle's orange roach-killer shoes to his high school graduation. In the South Bronx - or El Bronx, as it's known to the people who live there - anything can happen. A migrant "fresh off the boat" from Puerto Rico can be somebody on the mainland, pursue the American Dream ... and maybe even make it come true. Here are stories that capture the flavor and beat of El Bronx in its heyday, from 1946-1956.

Isaac Sidel, personnage emblématique de l’univers de Jerome Charyn, est revenu après une période d’absence romanesque. On l’avait connu inspecteur puis commissaire de police ; une irrésistible ascension l’a propulsé maire de New York, presque malgré lui. Il rêve de sortir les enfants des quartiers pauvres de l’engrenage de la violence et du crack pour les ramener sur les bancs de l’école grâce à « Merlin », un programme de développement éducatif.Dans l’immédiat, il doit résoudre le problème des Yankees, les joueurs de base-ball du Bronx ; ils se sont mis en grève, ce qui menace de faire exploser le quartier qui n’a pas besoin de ça. En effet, avec la pauvreté grandissante, des gangs et des flics ripoux s’y affrontent. Cette guerre sanglante est chroniquée par Angel, alias Aliocha, un gamin latino qui peint des fresques extraordinaires en hommage à ses potes tombés sur le champ de bataille. Il signe d’un « A » caractéristique, et Isaac, frappé par la beauté de ces œuvres, voudrait bien mettre la main sur lui pour en faire son joker dans son combat contre la violence et l’illettrisme. Mais même pour l’ancien commissaire, il devient de plus en plus difficile de distinguer amis et ennemis dans la jungle urbaine...Roman virtuose, kaléidoscopique, El Bronx est un conte à la noirceur teintée d’un humour souvent féroce. Il a pour cadre un quartier que l’auteur n’a cessé de radiographier au fil de ses métamorphoses. Avec ce mélange de réalisme et de merveilleux si caractéristique de son style, Charyn nous offre une vision désenchantée de l’Amérique, où les frontières entre le bien et le mal sont de plus en plus floues et où le seul salut pourrait venir de l’art et de l’éducation.
