His previous book was called “Between Dog and Wolf”. This one could be called “Between the Lines”. In the autobiographical story published in 2022, Anthony Delon recounted the violence of a father who never stopped wanting to “subdue” him. This time, the eldest son of Alain Delon, 59 years old, has written a novel entitled “Bastingage”
(Éditions Fayard, 233 pages, 22 euros)
, in bookstores since Wednesday. Or the story of a passionate and toxic love between Philippe, an “artist”, and Luna, a Spanish model.
But in this “novel”, we recognize the doubles of Alain Delon, of Anouchka, Anthony’s half-sister
and Hiromi Rollin, the lady-in-waiting accused of abuse of weakness. Philippe's father, Joseph, “big boss of the CAC 40”, is “as egocentric as he is a castrator”.
