Nicolas Rey is in love!
After the success of his Léger passage à vide, which sold 100,000 copies, Nicolas Rey is back. We left him depressed and drugged, but now he’s sober, with ceramic hips and rebuilding his life. But above all, he’s met and fallen in love with Maud, a crazy director. L’amour est déclaré tells the story of their meeting, their first dates and their new life together. Maud is a bit like his alter ego. She also has many flaws and often appears unpredictable.
In the author’s world, two characters also take center stage: his son Hippolyte and his agent Kléber. Hippolyte is only 7 years old, but Rey is full of advice for the future. Your first ejaculation will take place in your parents’ bathroom, because it’s the only room that locks. You lie down on the carpet, thank the Kleenex brand for existing and, a few seconds later, it’s La Traviata, the chorus of the Red Army, genial dementia, Hendrix playing in your brain, Big Ben inside your belly”.
The novel is divided into short sequences, like moments in life.
Nicolas Rey’s work is funny, sharp and full of self-mockery. Like his previous work, this new opus has a strong autobiographical element.In the end, Nicolas Rey has become a familiar figure, almost a friend whose fate we follow over time. We enjoy slipping into his shadow, and have a delightful time.
