Product Description
August 1992. A valley lost somewhere in the East, blast furnaces that no longer burn, a lake, a hot afternoon. Anthony is fourteen years old, and with his cousin, to kill boredom, he decides to steal a canoe and go see what is happening on the other side, on the famous beach of the naked bottoms. In the end, it will be Anthony's first love, the first summer, the one that decides everything else. It will be the drama of life that begins.
With this book, Nicolas Mathieu writes the novel of a valley, of an era, of adolescence, the political story of a youth that must find its way in a world that is dying. Four summers, four moments, from Smells Like Teen Spirit to the 98 World Cup, to tell the story of lives at full speed in this France of the in-between, medium-sized cities and suburban areas, the bush and the concrete ZAC. The France of Picon and Johnny Hallyday, of funfairs and Intervilles, of men worn out at work and faded lovers at twenty. A country far from the counters of globalization, caught between nostalgia and decline, decency and rage.
