About the Book

1968-Paris. Europe. Les années 60. Le tumulte et l'innocence. Découverte de soi et liberté nouvelle. Alex, jeune américain, vétéran du Vietnam, vit alors à Paris. L'absurdité de cette guerre a rendu la plupart de la jeunesse américaine cynique envers son gouvernement. Certains ont gagné l'Europe non seulement pour fuir l'Amérique mais pour tenter de trouver une autre manière de vivre. Devenu journaliste, Alex se retrouve par trop impliqué dans les événements qu'il couvre: En Grèce avec la police locale; en Prague, pendant le Printemps de Prague lors de l'invasion russe; avec les étudiants parisiens face aux CRS dans les barricades de la Sorbonne. Et puis les femmes: Cécile, la française, sophistiquée et mondaine; Iris, grecque, évasive, aussi mystérieuse que la Grèce Antique elle-même; Lisa, l'américaine, l'une des jumelles, innocente sans être naïve et aussi américaine qu'une apple pie, avec une galerie de personnages uniques et exotiques, des idéalistes, des poètes, des artistes, des gangsters, et des révolutionnaires, tous pris dans les évènements puissantes d'une grande importance historique pour leur génération. 1968 a transformé nos existences et le monde. Et ces changements se ressentent encore et continuent d'influencer nos vies de façon imprévisible. Deux faits majeurs essentiels se sont déroulés en Europe en 1968: en mai, à Paris, la révolte des étudiants qui a été l'une des émeutes les plus tumultueuse arrivées dans cette ville et qui a failli renverser le gouvernement, paralysé la France, et marqué la génération qui l'a vécu. Et l'invasion de la Tchécoslovaquie par les Russes et ses alliés de l'Europe de l'Est qui a signifié l'écrasement du mouvement de liberté du Printemps de Prague. Le roman A la Fin du Jour se déroule surtout à Paris, ville magique qui a toujours exercé un grand attrait pour les américains expatriés. Une histoire intense, drôle, riche, unique et émouvante qui fait allusion non seulement aux incidents de 1968 mais qui est aussi un trajet à la recherche de l'amour, de l'espoir, de la propre identité des personnages, et du rôle qu'ils joueront dans la vie. Le premier roman à paraître qui utilise les épisodes de mai 68, comme toile, pour raconter une belle histoire d'amour et qui saisit aussi, par les détails dramatique et vivants, les évènements de mai '68 lorsque la ville de l'amour semble déterminée à écraser la jeunesse et la liberté.
