Idioma/Language: Español. Primera incursión de Philippe Besson en la autoficción, Deja de decir mentiras subraya, empezando por el título, hasta qué punto elegir la verdad supone a veces un heroísmo. Estando de paseo en su región natal, el narrador, que no es otro que Philippe Besson, ve en el vestíbulo del hotel a un joven de espaldas cuyo parecido con su primer amor le golpea como un puñetazo. A partir de ahí relata el encuentro, veinticinco años antes, entre dos adolescentes totalmente opuestos: uno, más bien tímido, es hijo de profesor, alumno aplicado y lector empedernido; el otro es hijo de campesinos, rebelde, carismático y misterioso, ídolo de las chicas del instituto. Su atracción es inmediata, sin equívoco. Los encuentros clandestinos que la siguen se bañan en una fascinación teñida de culpabilidad y de negación. El secreto que los envuelve los hace aún mucho más intensos. Sin embargo, Thomas se muestra incapaz de expresar sus sentimientos, de aceptar lo que es. Desaparece de la vida del narrador tan súbitamente como había entrado, dejando al joven Philippe con la herida de un primer amor de regusto inacabado. Al final del relato, años después, el autor se entera con infinita tristeza de que aquel radiante Thomas de su juventud ha pasado la vida intentando combatir su naturaleza y disimularla a ojos de todos, lo que precipitará su trágico final. A la edad en la que todo es posible, vemos empezar a dibujarse dos destinos ineluctables: el de un chico a punto de negar la evidencia, de optar para toda la vida por la mentira, y el de otro que se convertirá en novelista, constructor de ficciones, contador de historias. El relato de sus amores es un testimonio impactante y desgarrador, pero exento de todo juicio moral, de la dificultad de ser uno mismo en ciertos contextos sociales o familiares. «Un relato impresionante y sobrecogedor». André Aciman, autor de Call Me by Your Name «Un relato elegíaco de un primer amor secreto entre dos chicos adolescentes que verán negado para siempre un futuro compartido, Deja de decir mentiras ha vendido más de cien mil ejemplares en Francia, donde ha ganado varios premios y se está llevando al cine». -Lauren Collins, New Yorker *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
