Ce roman, dont Alexandre Dumas fils tira aussi un drame, est inspiré de l'existence authentique de Marie Duplessis. Merveilleusement belle et intelligente, cette courtisane fut adorée du Tout-Paris et de l'auteur lui-même. Il dut renoncer à elle, car il n'était pas assez riche. Verdi fit de ce drame un opéra sublime, La Traviata, que Franco Zeffirelli filme avec grand art. Armand et Marguerite vivent un amour immense qui survit à tous les obstacles et à toutes les tromperies. Le pére d'Armand interdit cet amour inconvenant. Mais rien n aura empêché le bonheur d aimer, la virginité retrouvée, l'argent et les conventions dédaignés. L'amour véritable, c'était pour Marguerite l'espoir, le rêve et le pardon de sa vie. Tout lui fut donné, mais à quel prix!

Address Book is the new work of fiction by the Costa-shortlisted author of Skin Lane. Neil Bartlett’s cycle of stories takes us to seven very different times and situations: from a new millennium civil partnership celebration to erotic obsession in a Victorian tenement, from a council-flat bedroom at the height of the AIDS crisis to a doctor’s living-room in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, they lead us through decades of change to discover hope in the strangest of places.Neil says, ‘Every place I’ve ever slept in, I’ve always wondered about what went on at that address before I moved in. To write this book, I went back to some significant places in my own life and let the walls talk to me. The result of that listening is this new cycle of stories.’Editor Nathan Evans says, ‘I’ve loved Neil’s writing since finding his first book in the university library, so to publish his latest is something of a dream for me. Inkandescent are proud to be working with such an important queer writer with so much to say about where we are and how we got here.’‘Bartlett is a pioneer on and off the page and we are lucky to have him telling our stories’ —DAMIAN BARR'Address Book is completely absorbing; tender, enchanting and a mesmeric read from cover to cover. Neil’s skill as a story-teller is unsurpassed. This book is something else. I adored it.'—JOANNA LUMLEY
