Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It is the story of a boy who lives alone with his mother, in a small semi-detached house on a housing estate. It is summer, the dangerous season, the time of violence. This is the story of Jeremy, who is bored and obsessed with Sami. This is the story of a desertion.There is no hope for love in this book because the body, feverish with waiting and frustration, takes all the space, fills it with void and vertigo. Youth is a savage state where everything can happen; everything can be destroyed because it all rests on one force: desire.For this novel, written after Mes mauvaises pensées (prix Renaudot 2005), Nina Bouraoui chooses a male narrator. She constructs a fiery, sensual tale that unveils the tumult and fragility of adolescence. From one book to the next, Nina Bouraoui demonstrates a renewed capacity to enthrall us through the singularity and captivating power of her writing.Nina Bouraoui was born in Rennes in 1967. She has written, amongst other books, La voyeuse interdite - awarded the Livre Inter 1991 prize - Le jour du séisme, Garçon manqué, La Vie heureuse, Poupée Bella and Mes mauvaises pensées, awarded the Renaudot prize in 2005.
