CGiii Comment

These are the last months of a man's life. Quentin Debeaumont. Sixty-one years old. Famous and celebrated writer. He experiences a romantic and sexual passion such as he has never experienced with a sixty-six-year-old man, Pavel Radulescu, a worker of Romanian origin who became a business manager and a fan of Greco-Roman wrestling. At first he refuses his advances. Whether he is bisexual or homosexual, the question is never resolved. He ends up accepting them but in an unusual, ritualized form.


Ce sont les derniers mois de la vie d’un homme. Quentin Debeaumont. Soixante-et-un ans. Écrivain célèbre et célébré. Il vit une passion amoureuse et sexuelle telle qu’il n’en a jamais vécue avec un homme de soixante-six ans, Pavel Radulescu, un ouvrier d’origine roumaine devenu chef d’entreprise, adepte de la lutte gréco-romaine. Celui-ci d’abord refuse ses avances. Il est bisexuel ou homosexuel, la question n’est jamais tranchée. Il finit par les accepter mais sous une forme insolite, ritualisée.
