The nickname Hervelino marked the start of their friendship, which was cemented a decade later by the years they both spent in Rome. Guibert was a pensionnaire at the Villa Médicis starting in 1987; Lindon became a fellow pensionnaire the next year, and the two would stay in Italy until 1990. These Roman years are at the heart of this autobiographie à deux that alternates between humor and melancholy. Guibert had just learned that he was HIV-positive and would die not long after returning to France and rising to fame with his searing masterpiece To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life--in which Lindon himself was a character. Hervelino is a book about the difficulty of writing and speaking about someone beloved and revered. In recounting their time in Italy, Lindon contends with the impossibility of writing about Guibert: "To write about Rome is to skip over everything I don't dare to write because it's so hard to make sense of Hervé." Hervelino is a story of a singular friendship, and of the books read and shared by the friend who was loved and lost. As it closes with each inscription Guibert wrote for his friend Mathieu and with Lindon's present-day commentary below it, what remains are shards and fragments of a friendship sealed by illness and death, enshrined by literature and love."-- $c provided by publisher. 500 $a Series from publisher's website, viewed January 27, 2023. 500 $a Translated from the French. 600 10 $a Guibert, HerveÌ $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Lindon, Mathieu $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Guibert, HerveÌ $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00090628 600 17 $a Lindon, Mathieu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01987231 651 0 $a Rome (Italy) $v Fiction. 765 08 $i Translation of (expression): $a Lindon, Mathieu. $t Hervelino. $d Paris : P.O.L, [2021] $z 9782818051139 $w (OCoLC)1233072127 $w (OCoLC)1233072127 700 1 $a Zuckerman, Jeffrey, $d 1987- $e translator. 830 0 $a Semiotext(e) native agents series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06AF47DEC48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
