Summary:
|
"Performance, ou la rencontre explosive entre un romancier en perdition, sa ravissante belle-fille et les Rolling Stones de la première époque. Un écrivain de 71 ans, déserté par l'inspiration après un AVC et menacé d'interdit bancaire, se voit proposer une série télévisuelle sur les débuts des Stones, de leur arrestation pour usage de stupéfiants en 1967 à la mort de Brian Jones en 1969. Voilà qui va lui permettre de vivre son histoire d'amour scandaleuse et passionnée avec Esther, dont un demi-siècle le sépare. Tous deux le savent, leur amour est condamné : elle a la beauté du diable, lui approche du terme fixé par le diable de Faust, de Don Juan, de Dracula. Mais la grâce de la jeunesse perdue fait miraculeusement ressurgir de l'abîme Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg et Brian Jones. Ce roman au souffle éblouissant met en scène la dernière aventure d'un écrivain qui vampirise l'innocence d'un amour réprouvé pour insuffler vie à ses personnages."--Page 4 of cover.

Summary:
|
"Performance, or the explosive encounter between a novelist in distress, his ravishing daughter-in-law and the Rolling Stones of the first era. A 71-year-old writer, deserted by inspiration after a stroke and threatened with a banking ban, sees himself offer a television series on the Stones' early life, from their arrest for drug use in 1967 to the death of Brian Jones in 1969. This will allow him to live his scandalous and passionate love affair with Esther, from whom he is separated by half of a century. Both know it, their love is doomed: she has the beauty of the devil, he is approaching the end set by the devil of Faust, of Don Juan, of Dracula. But the grace of lost youth miraculously brings back from the abyss Marianne Faithfull, Anita Pallenberg and Brian Jones. This dazzling novel depicts the last adventure of a writer who vampirizes the innocence of a reprobate love to breathe life into his characters."--Page 4 of cover.
