en dialogue avec l'imagination dès le moment vécu, puis dans le souvenir et tout au long de l'existence. Dans ce récit strictement autobiographique, tout l'effort consiste à retrouver et à restituer avec leurs composantes contradictoires les circonstances, l'état d'esprit, les états de corps, les sentiments, les sensations, les pulsions, d'une aventure amoureuse et sexuelle qui est celle de la première fois.

Pendant quelques jours, cohabitent violemment dans le même être le désir érotique pour une jeune fille de sept ans son aînée, et la volonté farouche de rester un petit garçon en culottes courtes, attaché à son univers d'enfance." -- 4e de couvUn concert d'été au clair de lune: une histoire, une chanson
