El redescubrimiento de una obra de culto que será llevada al cine por Luca Guadagnino: una romántica historia de amor queer ambientada en los ochenta, con prólogo de André Aciman.

«Una historia de amor, juventud y dolor que hará que te encogerá el corazón. Quiero que todo el mundo la lea; quiero apretarla contra las manosde la gente. Sin duda, una de las mejores novelas que he leído nunca . - Andrew Sean Greer, ganador del Premio Pulitzer

Un libro más esperado de 2025 según LitHub y LGBTQ Reads - Una lectura recomendada por Observer para el Mes del Orgullo

Leo y Thomas se conocen por azar en una multitudinaria fiesta parisina y, pese a su diferencia de edad y origen --Leo es un escritor italiano establecido, y Thomas un joven alemán aspirante a pianista considerablemente más joven--, se embarcan en una intensa relación. Pero la pasión toma tantas formas como amantes que la experimentan, y durante los años siguientes los dos hombres bailan una cuidadosa coreografía hecha de espacios y de distancias.

Leo entiende el amor como un anhelo, un ejercicio de extrañar y desear, y evita a toda costa compartir un espacio doméstico con Thomas, algo que, por otro lado, resultaría inconcebible para la sociedad que los rodea y los rechaza. Así viven varios años en habitaciones separadas, con vidas conectadas pero no fusionadas. Pero la trágica muerte de Thomas enfrenta a Leo a la soledad verdadera.

Impulsado por la necesidad de olvidar, o tal vez de encontrar, vaga por los destinos que habitó con su amado. El redescubrimiento de una de las novelas más revolucionarias de las letras italianas de finales de los años 80 por un autor de culto de la literatura queer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A story of love and youth and pain that will have you clutching at your heart. I want everyone to read it; I want to press it into people's hands. Surely one of the best novels I've ever read. ―Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost

A LitHub and LGBTQ Reads Most Anticipated Book of 2025

Soon to be a major film adaptation by Luca Guadagnino, Separate Rooms is a masterpiece of Italian literature, and a heartbreaking portrait of love, grief, and the daily realities of being a gay man in 1980s Europe.

Thomas, a young German musician, is dying. His older boyfriend, a renowned Italian writer named Leo, finds it impossible to watch the slow and inevitable demise of his lover. So, he condemns himself to wandering the earth instead, moving cities every few weeks in the hope of finding the dividing line between the living and the dead.

He travels through Europe where past and present overlap, years merge and faces emerge, and reminders of the life he and Thomas shared are on every corner. From their meeting and nights spent in Paris to the drug-induced flight through the forests of northern France that spelled [GU1] the end, Leo's memories become clearer with every road he takes―much as he wishes he could simply forget. While alive, and wanting to preserve the passion of their relationship, Leo had forced Thomas to live separately: in separate rooms, separate towns, with separate lives. But now, face to face with true solitude, Leo must finally reckon with the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and, ultimately, cross an ocean to find the strength to go on.

André Aciman's Call Me by Your Name meets Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous in Pier Vittorio Tondelli's Separate Rooms a singular and unforgettable meditation on almost-ideal love, told in three musical movements, by a treasured literary talent never before published in the US.
