Le paradis

Follows the adventures of the author and his 'companion', the beautiful, passionate and mysterious Jayne. She is a statuesque blonde, former swimming champion and model, who excels in the pursuit of pleasure.

As the author's real life comes to the surface of the fictional fantasy, the narrative gradually takes on more sinister tones: Guibert and Jayne acquire the symptoms of a banal, persistent infection while they are in Mali ... Guibert's AIDS symptoms develop and he undergoes a terrifying new kind of brain scan at a clinic in Washington DC. Les expoits de l'auteur et sa belle compagne, Jayne, dans leurs voyages exotiques. Mais les voyages ne sont pas parfaits. Chaque endroit présente le danger et la maladie. Guibert et Jayne devient malade en Mali et Guibert apprend qu'il est atteint du sida.
