« Le ciel de Paris en fut-il ce matin ? Et qui complotait ? Faut-il que les choses d’en bas le modifient ? » Cela a commencé pendant la nuit et personne ne l’a remarqué : ce furent les premiers éléments. Une sorte de pou dans le mur. Des carrés de mosaïques se sont multipliés sur les façades des bâtiments. Pourquoi un individu s’est astreint à coller de la mosaïque un peu partout dans la ville, nul ne le sait. Et la police désespère. Claude-Hélène et Térence se sont mariés il y a dix ans, avec pour témoins Michèle Barret-Lauze, maître à penser de Térence, et Colin, l’homme de théâtre qui a fait partie de l’avant-garde artistique avant de s’exiler de la capitale. Un matin, Térence découvre par hasard un mur aveugle et noir qu’il n’a jamais vu, mais que Claude-Hélène connaît bien. Ce mur la replonge dans son passé, d’autant plus que Térence s’éloigne peu à peu. A-t-elle jamais réellement su qui il était ? Peut-être est-il temps pour Claude-Hélène de ressortir ses vieux projets d’intervention artistique urbaine et de les proposer au nouveau maire ? Il rêve de lancer la toute première Nuit Blanche, une nuit qui sera un perpétuel crépuscule et déjà une aurore. Mais le jour se lèvera-t-il sur la ville mosaïque ? Magistrale comédie de mœurs à l’échelle d’une ville, ce roman de Sylvie Taussig explore les moindres replis des relations humaines, ses impostures et ses rigidités ; elle y invente une œuvre libre, ironique et singulière.
