'Thomas dies. He has decided to wait for death here in Saint-Clément, the house of his childhood. I am beside him. I did not know one could die during summer.'A story as simple as harrowing: the death of a brother. Thomas is seriously ill, he knows he will die soon. He has always loved life, he is in love. He does not know how to react, what to feel. Lucas, his brother, remembers in a sad smile every moment they have spent together. He decides to take Thomas to the house of their childhood, the white house on the island. Not to wait for the death to come, but to live intensely every hour left. This death, though foreseeable and expected, will undoubtedly cause a cataclysm. With modesty and sensuality, with a fluid and precise writing, Philippe Besson confirms he is a novelist to take account of.
Philippe Besson is director of a survey institute. In the Absence of Men and His Brother are his first two novels.
