About the author

In 1999, Besson, who was a jurist at that time, was inspired to write his first novel, In the Absence of Men, while reading some accounts of ex-servicemen of the First World War. The novel won the Emmanuel-Roblès prize.

L'Arrière-saison, published in 2002, won the Grand Prix RTL-Lire 2003. Un garçon d'Italie was nominated for the Goncourt and the Médicis prizes.

Seeing that his works aroused so much interest, Philippe Besson then decided to dedicate himself exclusively to his writing.

[Maria Reyes Retana · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a book. This one will stay with me. It’s incredible how something so short can hold so much weight. Quietly powerful, deeply sad, and beautifully written. I didn’t expect it to hit me the way it did, but that last paragraph completely devastated me. A story that lingers long after finish it.

Speechless. This book was so beautiful, haunting, devastating… favorite read in a long time.
