Title : The Best Part of Men - Tristan Garcia - book

• Summary

Flora Prize 2008

"Dominique Rossi, a former left-wing activist, founded the first major movement to fight and emancipate homosexuality in France in the late 1980s. Willie is a young loser, a scandalous writer whom some consider genius. They love each other, hate each other, and then destroy each other before the eyes of the narrator and her lover, a media intellectual, who more or less consciously miss the mark of their time. We witness with them the spectacle of a radical and absolute hatred between two individuals, but also the joyful birth, and at the end, sickening, of a decisive period in the history of sexuality and politics in the West. This moral tale is not autofiction. It is the story, which I did not live, of a community and a generation torn apart by AIDS, in neighborhoods where I never lived. It is the faithful account of most of the possible betrayals of our existence, the portrait of the worst part of men and - in negative - of the best." Tristan Garcia.
