Revenants
De Bois-Colombes à Paris, des Sables-d'Olonne à Stockholm, Patrice Lelorain met en scène la génération post-68, celle des silences et des non-dits, des causes incertaines, des gloires éphémères, des amours plurielles. Une génération perdue, qui a le rock pour bannière.
Peuplé de fées désenchantées et de princes sans royaume, Revenants est une fresque underground, un roman choral écrit au cordeau.

Presentation
From Paris to its suburb Bois-Colombes, from the seaside resort Sables d’Olonne to Stockholm, Revenants portrays the ‘post-68’ generation: one of silences and things left unsaid, of undefined causes, fleeting fame and multiple love affairs. A lost generation, filled with disenchanted fairies and princes without kingdoms, who carries the rock music as an emblem. Revenants is a remarkably written underground novel, rich in characters whose paths continually cross.
Born in 1955, Patrice Lelorain spent his childhood in the Parisian suburb Bois-Colombes, where he developed a love for sport. Dishwasher, waiter, bellboy and a workman, he travelled through Europe before devoting himself to cinema. From 1985 to 1986 he contributed to the last issues of the review of Cinematography. After having written La Légende de Muhammed Ali (Denoël, 1989, La Petite Vermillon, 2008), he came to the belief that literature would allow him to embody his own universe. After Quick-sandwich (Calmann-Lévy, 1991), he bought chronicles back into fashion with his third work Paris Section-Urbaine (La Différence, 1996). He wrote for the Parisian supplement of the Nouvel Observateur using this same title from 2000 until 2003. He is the author of Colères (Verticales, 2000), Off (Climats, 2001), Saccages (Le Rocher, 2002), Adieux (Liana Levi, 2004) and Quatre Uppercuts (La Table Ronde, 2008).
