Wildly charismatic, impossibly brilliant, totally rebellious - Will Hunting is a mathematical genius who lives on the fringes of society, refusing to accept the talent that he has for maths and taking, instead, a job as a cleaner in a university.
Gus Van Sant Livres
L'œuvre de Gus Van Sant explore sans crainte les sous-cultures homosexuelles et autres marginalisées, se concentrant sur la vie de ceux qui se trouvent en marge de la société. Plutôt que d'offrir des modèles positifs, ses récits plongent dans des thèmes complexes et capturent souvent des perspectives uniques. L'approche narrative de Van Sant, évidente aussi bien dans ses films que dans son roman, se caractérise par un regard brut et intransigeant sur l'expérience humaine. Sa production littéraire partage cet engagement envers l'authenticité et la profondeur dans la représentation de vies non conventionnelles.

Pink is the first novel by film-maker Gus Van Sant, whose films include Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho and Good Will Hunting. It tells the story of industrial film-maker Spunky Davis and his close encounters with two strange young men whose disturbing aura attracts Spunky's curiosity - especially as one of them strongly reminds him of a dazzling young star of the infommercial world who has recently died tragically of a drug overdose. Gradually, they draw Spunky into their world, revealing to him the secrets of the Pink dimension. Pink is suffused with a grief for the temporary nature of life, for the breaking of connections, for the difficulties of coping with inconsolable loss. It is also a tale of hope and rapture - one told with the aching tenderness of My Own Private Idaho, as well as the wickedly ironic tone of To Die For.
