Enterrement de la vie garçon

In September 1984, the young narrator starts his first year at Toulouse-Lautrec-college. He meets Eric, a very special boy who's school career has been delayed because of a very serious illness. During seven years, the two friends will share everything: hours of laziness spent in coffee shops and at improvised parties, a strong passion for cinema where they find ideals and hope, but also Erics' journeys at the hospital as his health declines. Erics' death marks the end of this period of joy and pain. 20 years later, the narrator realizes that he still has not coped with Erics' death and that Erics' memory still haunts him... This is not only a story about friendship and loss, but also a very nice and amusing description of the ' Mitterrand generation ', of young man and woman who have now reached their thirties, which means adulthood. Christian Authier was born in 1969 near Paris. He lives and works as a journalist in Toulouse. He has written several works of non-fiction like Le Nouvel Ordre sexuel (Bartillat, 2002) and À l'est d'Eastwood (La Table Ronde, 2003). Enterrement de vie de garçon is his first novel.
