Description
Hervelino is an autobiographical account of the friendship between Mathieu Lindon and Hervé Guibert. Their bond was forged in 1978, when Lindon adopted Guibert's nickname "Hervelino", which became a symbol of their connection. The two men spent several years together in Rome, from 1987 to 1990, during which time they shared experiences that are both humorous and melancholic. This book is a poignant exploration of the difficulty of writing about someone beloved and revered. Lindon grapples with the challenge of capturing Guibert's essence, acknowledging that "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." The result is a story of their singular friendship, marked by illness, death, and literature. Through Guibert's writings and Lindon's commentary, the book presents shards and fragments of their relationship, sealed by love and enshrined in literature. With each inscription, what remains are the remnants of a bond that transcended time and circumstance.
