Paris-Austerlitz: Il narratore di questa storia, un giovane pittore madrileno di famiglia benestante e affiliato al Partito comunista, ricorda, in una confessione che forse deve a se stesso, e nella quale a volte sembra volersi giustificare, i passi che l'hanno portato a chiudere la sua relazione con Michel, l'uomo che lo ha accolto nella sua casa, nel suo letto, nella sua vita quando il giovane pittore era rimasto senza un tetto a Parigi. Un romanzo che indaga le ragioni del cuore, a volte tanto mendaci quanto irrinunciabili, senza prendere come certa la natura consolatoria dell'amor o la sua forza redentrice.
The narrator of this story, a young painter from Madrid to do family and affiliated to the Communist Party, remember, in a confession that maybe has to itself, and which sometimes seems to want to justify, the steps that led him to close his relationship with Michel. Michel, mature man, fifty years, the skilled worker, with the solidity of the body of a farmer Norman; the man who welcomed him in his house, in his bed, in his life, when the young painter had remained homeless in Paris; Michel, whose love he has restored pride and freed him from the abandonment, today is dying at the hospital Saint-Louis, seized the scourge, the dreaded and shameful disease. In the memories of the young then prevail those happy days of the beginning of everything. The wandering through the streets of Paris, drinks till last salary, carefree, desire friendships that flushed scarlet, and then the shack that appeared like the cozy den of passion. But with the passing of the months, the apartment without light begins to be suffocating and the canvases remain blank, cutlery against walls, remind the young who cannot drown the aspirations in the glass of Pastis or flirtation that feels heavier and heavier as the massive body of Michel.
