%X Star of the Sea est le roman de toutes les trahisons, ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦chelle du couple, de la famille, des nations. Cependant, O¡¯Connor ne se contente pas de faire de la trahison une th¨¦matique, il structure son  uvre autour de la r¨¦¨¦criture trompeuse d¡¯un meurtre et expose la litt¨¦rature comme la trahison perp¨¦tuelle de textes ant¨¦rieurs. De r¨¦cit d¡¯un crime, Star of the Sea devient palimpseste criminel. Le crime ne s¡¯arr¨ºte pas ¨¤ l¡¯assassinat d¡¯un personnage. C¡¯est la paternit¨¦ litt¨¦raire qui est mise ¨¤ mal, voire les auteurs eux-m¨ºmes. Star of the Sea is the novel of every betrayal, be it within the couple, the family or between nations. However, if O¡¯Connor uses betrayal as a theme, he also structures his work around the deceptive rewriting of a murder story and shows that literature is itself the constant betrayal of former texts. Starting out as the simple account of a crime, Star of the Sea becomes a criminal palimpsest. The crime is not restricted to the murder of a character: authorship itself is assaulted, even the authors themselves.
