About the Author Philippe Besson is an author, screenwriter, and playwright.
Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Besson\'s powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first love--and the heartbreaking passage of time.

What follows is a look back at the relationship he\'s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a gorgeous boy named Thomas during their last year of high school.
Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love.
