A Fine Line

Truth or fiction? In A Fine Line Marc Séguin offers the reader an irresistible torn-from-life story about friendship, art, sex, and love as he revisits the boy, the adolescent, and the young man he once was. All three tormented by incessant worry, they now haunt the renowned painter, film director, and author he has become. His striking reflections – shaped by deaths, confessions put to the test, a friendship destroyed, and memories of the beautiful Arielle – masterfully punctuate this story about a man who regrets not having loved enough…or perhaps having loved too late.

“His concise writing is used with great efficacity, and his words enter and inhabit the spirit. A short, treasured book that I will reread with pleasure.” —Chantal Fontaine, librairie Moderne
