Title : The Optimists - Rebecca Makkai - book
Summary :
"One of the best novels of the year" The New York Times
In 1980s Chicago, in the heart of Boystown, Yale Tishman and his group of friends—artists, activists, journalists, and professors—live the free life they'd always imagined. When the AIDS epidemic hits their community, relationships change, and bonds blur and transform. Little by little, everything around Yale collapses, and all he has left is Fiona, his best friend Nico's little sister.
From 1980s Chicago to modern-day Paris, Rebecca Makkai delivers a powerful epic about the power of friendship in the face of tragedy.
"Rebecca Makkai displays impressive novelistic skill, which never overwhelms her emotional power, nor the subtlety of the feelings experienced by her characters." Raphaëlle Leyris, The World of Books
"Overwhelming and fascinating." Gérard de Cortanze, History
