«Ce sont amis que vent emporte» is the novel by Yves Navarre, published by H&O in paperback (157 pages, in French).
The narrative addresses loss, illness and death without reducing itself to them: love and the power of art occupy a central place. Written from an intimate voice, the novel lingers on the care of a loved one, the fragility of the body and the music that sustains, with a tone that combines the sombre and the luminous.
The novel was originally published in 1991; the 2009 H&O edition includes an introduction by Sylvie Lannegrand.
For readers of contemporary French literature interested in a novel about love and loss.
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.
