I discovered this novel with the author, flipping a few pages ... and I could not stop. Immediately style, perfect, without excess, very pleased me mastered. The subject also. Childhood memories at first, then to adolescence, and then little by little, the perfect friendship between the two boys cracks, Mando, the best friend becomes increasingly possessive, strange. The narrator discovers, through the words of a teacher, which resonates with the behavior of his friend, his attraction to the issue of mental illness (the story seems autobiographical, the author is primarily a psychoanalyst, but I can not affirm). But all that remains beautiful and subtle.
