Wildly charismatic, impossibly brilliant, totally rebellious - Will Hunting is a mathematical genius who lives on the fringes of society, refusing to accept the talent that he has for maths and taking, instead, a job as a cleaner in a university.
Gus Van Sant Libros
La obra de Gus Van Sant explora sin tapujos las subculturas homosexuales y otras marginalizadas, centrándose en las vidas de aquellos en los márgenes de la sociedad. En lugar de ofrecer modelos positivos, sus narrativas profundizan en temas complejos y a menudo capturan perspectivas únicas. El enfoque narrativo de Van Sant, evidente tanto en sus películas como en su novela, se caracteriza por una mirada cruda e intransigente a la experiencia humana. Su producción literaria comparte este compromiso con la autenticidad y la profundidad en la representación de vidas no convencionales.
Pink

Pink is the first novel by film-maker Gus Van Sant, whose films include Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho and Good Will Hunting. It tells the story of industrial film-maker Spunky Davis and his close encounters with two strange young men whose disturbing aura attracts Spunky's curiosity - especially as one of them strongly reminds him of a dazzling young star of the infommercial world who has recently died tragically of a drug overdose. Gradually, they draw Spunky into their world, revealing to him the secrets of the Pink dimension. Pink is suffused with a grief for the temporary nature of life, for the breaking of connections, for the difficulties of coping with inconsolable loss. It is also a tale of hope and rapture - one told with the aching tenderness of My Own Private Idaho, as well as the wickedly ironic tone of To Die For.
