Mr. Romain Gary, by Kerwin Spire
After initially tracing the life of Romain Gary during his time as consul of France in Los Angeles in the 1950s, Kerwin Spire now focuses on the journey of the writer of The Promise at Dawn in the 1960s, as he dedicates himself to literature and experiences a passionate and secret relationship with American actress Jean Seberg. A lively fictional autobiography that beautifully paints a portrait of the elusive Romain Gary. From De Gaulle to Kennedy, from Johnnie Cœur to White Dog, we journey alongside a man of a thousand lives and with an unbounded inspiration.
