Texas, 1872. Avec la fin de la guerre civile, l'exploration a repris dans les territoires à l'ouest du Mississippi, et le géologue Stingley cherche à capitaliser. Avec le photographe Oscar Forrest, qui recense le terrain, et leur jeune assistant, Milton, Stingley s'empare d'un territoire qui pourrait un jour soutenir une nouvelle civilisation. Mais ce n'est pas une terre vierge. À mesure que les hommes de la frontière se déplacent vers l'ouest, il devient clair que l'expédition ne sera pas remise en question. Stingley les a menés dans une région hostile: le dernier bastion de résistance des Comanches. Dans un paysage spectaculaire, sous la menace imminente d'une attaque, les frontières entre deux mondes se dissolvent. Alors que les conventions sociales disparaissent et que les inhibitions personnelles se retirent, une relation intime se développe entre Oscar et Milton. L'Odeur de Starving Boys est un western intense sur le choc de deux mondes: un ancien, un nouveau; l'un défini par la rationalité et la technologie, l'autre par le chamanisme et la nature. Texas, 1872. With the Civil War over, exploration has resumed in the territories to the west of the Mississippi, and the geologist Stingley is looking to capitalize. Together with photographer Oscar Forrest, who catalogues the terrain, and their young assistant, Milton, Stingley strikes out into territory that might one day support a new civilization. But this is no virgin land. As the frontiersmen move west, it becomes clear that the expedition won't go unchallenged. Stingley has led them into a hostile region: the native Comanches' last bastion of resistance. In a spectacular landscape, under the looming threat of attack, the boundaries between two worlds dissolve. As social conventions disappear and personal inhibitions go into retreat, an intimate relationship develops between Oscar and Milton. The Smell of Starving Boys is an intense Western about the clash of two worlds. Note: This book is in French.
