“I think I’d like to be like you. I’d like to become a writer.”

It’s the story of a lonely student in Paris, in search of romantic and literary encounters.

It’s the story of an orphan who imagines dialoging with his father, who took his own life, and feels a creative force emerging within him.

It’s the story of a young man who lives what he writes, and writes what he lives, with the mad desire to be published.

In this true-life novel, Alexandre Lacroix recounts the 90s and his beginnings in the literary world. A journey of initiation that is, in turn, intense, funny, and cruel.
