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 this 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.
