“I remember the movement of his hips pressing against the pinball machine. This one sentence had me in its grip until the end. Two young men find each other, always fearing that life itself might be the villain standing in their way. A stunning and heart-gripping tale.” —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice The critically acclaimed, internationally beloved novel by Philippe Besson—“this year’s Call Me By Your Name” (Vulture) with raves in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, Vanity Fair, Vogue, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Out—about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress and writer Molly Ringwald. In this “sexy, pure, and radiant story” (Out), Philippe chances upon a young man outside a hotel in Bordeaux who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he’s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Thomas is the son of a farmer; Philippe the son of a school principal. At school, they don’t acknowledge each other. But they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair. Despite the intensity of their attraction, from the beginning Thomas knows how it will end: “Because you will leave and we will stay,” he says. Philippe becomes a writer and travels the world, though as this “tender, sensuous novel” (The New York Times Book Review) shows, he never lets go of the relationship that shaped him, and every story he’s ever told. “Beautifully translated by Ringwald” (NPR), this is “Philippe Besson’s book of a lifetime...an elegiac tale of first, hidden love” (The New Yorker).

"Miradme bien. Quién sabe si mañana todavía estaré aquí..." Tímido e inquieto, miope de mirada hechizante, a James Dean le gustaba vivir deprisa: el día a día, su trabajo de actor, el amor..., y su pasión por las motos y los coches deportivos que le llevaron a encontrar la muerte, en septiembre de 1955, cuando sólo contaba veinticuatro años. Este joven de Indiana, inconsolable y pendenciero pero de un encanto irresistible, que no jugó al béisbol como quería su padre y se inició en la danza y la música alentado por su madre, se convirtió con sólo tres películas, dos estrenadas tras su muerte, en un icono de la juventud de todos los tiempos. Con la fluidez narrativa que caracteriza a Philippe Besson, en cuatro trazos esboza en esta novela coral y caleidoscópica el retrato íntimo e inédito del actor por medio de las voces de sus más allegados: desde sus padres y tíos, a las de profesores, agente, amigos, actores, amantes..., y el conductor contra el que se estrelló. A través de sus testimonios, como si se tratara de un documental cinematográfico, Besson hace aflorar esa parte desconocida del ser humano, compleja por sus contradicciones y ambigüedades. Así nos introduce en sus gustos, pasiones, amores, rebeldía, inquietudes... Su manera de acceder a Hollywood, su admiración por Marlon Brando y Montgomery Clift, su relación artística con Tennessee Williams, Elia Kazan y Nicholas Ray, su relación amorosa con Pier Angeli, la pasión que sintió por él Sal Mineo y la mutua aversión con Rock Hudson, su amistad con Elizabeth Taylor y Natalie Wood... La vida inalcanzable y agitada en suma de este icono intemporal, símbolo de la juventud eterna y rebelde, que se dio a todos sin pertenecer nunca a nadie.
