Paris: Rivages, 1997. First French edition. Softcover. 209 pages. O'Brien's debut novel, the only book published during his short life. A dark semi-autobiographical novel that was the basis for the Mike Figgis directed movie that starred Nicholas Cage in an Academy Award winning performance alongside the equally brilliant Elizabeth Shue.
