The Travelling Companion
Roland is a boy and student from Edinburgh. He decides to spend some time in Paris, working at the bookstore of Shakespeare and Company. He leaves two happy and proud parents and his girlfriend Charlotte. His parisienne existence becomes to be intense, and plenty of wine, drugs, smoke of various genre, shower undone per days, lack of food and nocturnal life. Roland discovers new worlds. Some of them parallel at the one he is living in.
Along his way he meets Mike an old man curious by the story of this boy. Roland is in fact interested in Stevenson and all his works. Alice will become the new girlfriend of Roland...
The Travelling Companion as you will discover, is not a title referred to a trip Roland did, but the first draft of a beloved novel, unpublished but not thrown away...
A strong little book.
I love the cover, precious, read, studied and important.
Recommended.
