Se llama Nino, tiene apenas veinte a os y se permite narrar su historia en primera persona. Una historia que empieza aqu , ante otra oportunidad perdida: las pruebas de drogas han dado positivo y es rechazado. Poco m s le queda que su Par s decr pito, su suerte tambaleante, su boca deslenguada, su cuerpo lleno de coca na y tambi n eso que le mantiene con vida: su novia, a la que ama con locura.

Este es el relato fulgurante de una juventud unida en un after infinito, una novela que, a cien por hora, po tica y ardiente, retrata una generaci n que se aferra al amor mientras intenta encontrar su lugar donde ya nadie les espera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nino At Night is the novel that has shaken up French critics. Written with four hands by a young couple, this story of social outrage and nocturnal beauty has been compared to Virginie Despentes or Michael Houellebecq.

What is that kid doing trying to enlist in the French Legion? Who is that boy that stands straight while taking a yelling from his sergeant? His name is Nino, he's only twenty years old and his story is told in first person. A story that begins here, with another missed opportunity: the drug tests have come back positive and he's rejected. He doesn't have much left except his decrepit Paris, his unstable luck, his foul mouth, his body filled with cocaine, and also that which has kept him alive: his girlfriend, with whom he's madly in love. Because Nino At Night is above all a love story.

Written with four hands by a young couple, this is a tale of life on the margins, of youth strangled by a society too unjust, too expensive, too difficult. A story of social outrage and nocturnal beauty, of lives bogged down who find their escape route among flashes and sweaty bodies in clubs where techno blares. This is a dazzling tale of youth united in an infinite after, a novel that, at a hundred miles per hour, poetic and burning, portrays a generation that clings to love while trying to find their place where no one is waiting for them."
