In 1989, Hervé Guibert published entries from his diary dedicated to Vincent, a young man who first appears on the pages of the book “Travels with Two Children.” "What was it? Passion? Love? Erotic obsession? Or one of my inventions?

“Vincent is a “destructive” character: alcohol, drugs, wild temper. Guibert is fair-haired, thin, charming, with an angelic appearance. But we know who lives in the still waters... - one of the most subtle, insightful and sophisticated writers." Le Nouvel Observateur

Guibert's strength lies in the fact that he pronounces tenderness and obscenity with a pleasure that many would call it masochistic. Here is proof that a real writer is a person who puts himself on display and has not the slightest compassion for himself. Le Monde
