With the same artfulness as he displayed in his previous books – namely, Le Chagrin – Lionel Duroy drags us back down the meanders of the most secret human feelings – this time reflecting on his hero’s inability to steer his love life successfully. On the verge of a separation whose inevitability is becoming increasingly
obvious, Augustin observes the women he loves and with whom he thought he had rebuilt his life for good. Wounded and torn apart but overpowered by the need to understand, one question leads to another and while Augustin ponders the recurrence of these romantic fails, childhood memories resurface, ever more
haunting. More uncompromising than ever, Duroy has written this book scalpel in hand, with the precision of surgeon. Vertigo will doubtless deeply affect those who enjoy love stories and are interested in family feuds.
