Synopsis

Book by Garcia Tristan

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Fearless, incendiary, this French first novel returns to the darkest days of Aids. Its bite and bravado (in Marion Duvert and Lorin Stein's translation) will thrill readers who worry that Michel Houellebecq may have gone soft ... the ideas sparkle, while the toil of loss acquires a tragic weight.' -- Independent

'If intellectual debate excites you [there is] much of interest.' --The Herald

'Among the first novels we read this season, the most mind-blowing is by twenty-seven-year-old Tristan Garcia: Hate: A Romance, a morality tale that grapples with the political and intellectual battles of the last two decades of French life and how those are caught up in the sex lives of the protagonists. A novel we re still reeling from, and which we ve chosen to put at the very top of our honor roll. - Les Inrockuptibles

'One of the revelations of the literary season . . . An intimate, romantic, political, and cultural fresco [of the 1980s], a portrait startling in its accuracy.' --Christine Rousseau, Le Monde

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In a controversial first novel that took the French literary world by storm and won the Prix de Flore, Tristan Garcia uses sex, friendships and love affairs to show what happens to people when political ideals - Marxism, gay rights, sexual liberation, nationalism - come to an end. As Elizabeth Levallois, a cultural journalist, looks back on the decade and on the ravages of the AIDS epidemic in Paris, a drama unfolds - one in which love turns to hate and fidelity turns to betrayal, in both affairs of the heart and politics.

With great verve and ingenuity, Garcia lays claim to an era that promised freedom as never before, and he paints an indelible, sharp, but sympathetic portrait of intellectuals lost in the age of MTV.
