“He is the philosophy student who thinks like Adamov that the dream of the night aveng us to despair of the days. He is the aquibonist of 26, rue Saint-Benoît, disappeared a non-established day of 2014. He is the hero of another life than his own. A being of spleen and cloud. Obviously there is no tangible evidence of his existence, it is hardly if he has lived in the world. »»
From Yann Andréa, we know that he lived sixteen years old with Marguerite Duras, in whom he had presented himself in the summer of 1980. He was twenty-eight years old and she is sixty-six. This love, he himself wrote it in a book. But of his life before and his life after, we know little. Julie Brafman went in the footsteps of this enigmatic character, to find, in a pink room, photos, newspapers, notebooks he left before disappearing in the night.
With an elegant and bewitching writing, the author brings back this man as singular as moving and, by intertwining the intimate story, the investigation and unpublished archives, she tells a story of love and literature.
