Synopsis "Lie With me "

"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).

Philippe Besson (Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, 1967) es un escritor, dramaturgo y guionista francés que ha construido una obra marcada por la memoria, la identidad, el deseo y las relaciones que permanecen abiertas incluso después de muchos años. Licenciado en Derecho, trabajó durante años en el ámbito empresarial antes de dedicarse plenamente a la literatura. Debutó con En l'absence des hommes, novela que recibió el Premio Emmanuel-Roblès. Algunas de sus obras, como Su hermano, fueron adaptadas al cine; esta última fue llevada a la pantalla por Patrice Chéreau.

Deja de decir mentiras (Arrête avec tes mensonges, 2017) es una de sus obras más personales y obtuvo el Premio Maison de la Presse. Presentada como autoficción, parte de un encuentro aparentemente casual: Besson ve a un joven cuyo parecido con Thomas, su primer amor, lo devuelve veinticinco años atrás. La novela reconstruye la relación clandestina entre dos adolescentes muy distintos y las consecuencias que dejó aquel amor interrumpido. Con una prosa contenida y profundamente emocional, Besson convierte un recuerdo íntimo en una reflexión sobre el deseo, la homosexualidad, el miedo a reconocerse y la dificultad de decir finalmente la verdad. La obra fue además adaptada al cine por Olivier Peyon.
