«Ce sont amis que vent emporte» is the novel by Yves Navarre, published by Librairie générale française in paperback (153 pages, in French).
The narrative, halfway between testimony and poem, between fiction and truth, delves into AIDS and a passion that death illuminates. With words sometimes harsh, sometimes tender, the characters struggle against incomprehension and rejection and find a lyrical, dark humour even in tragedy.
The work belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection (no. 9722) and includes the complete text in French.
For readers with a level of French who want to discover a short novel of contemporary French literature about love and AIDS.
Yves Navarre was a French writer. A gay man, most of his work concerned homosexuality and associated issues, such as AIDS. In his romantic works, Navarre was noted for his tendency to emphasize sensuality and "the mystical qualities of love" rather than sexuality or sensationalism. He was awarded the 1980 Prix Goncourt for his novel Le Jardin d'acclimatation.
