" Regardez-moi bien. Qui sait si je serai encore là demain... "

Aussi célèbre soit-il, James Dean, symbole de la jeunesse éternelle, demeure toujours aussi insaisissable.
Vivre vite, roman choral tout en nuances, dresse, à travers la voix de ses proches, le portrait intime d'un garçon de l'Indiana, inconsolable et myope, turbulent mais d'une beauté irrésistible, qui s'est donné à tous, sans jamais appartenir à personne : un acteur incandescent devenu, en trois films et un accident de voiture, une icône intemporelle.

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.
