«Bille en tête» is the novel by French writer Alexandre Jardin, published by Folio in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Virgile, a sixteen-year-old teenager, decides to live intensely and not go unnoticed. He begins a relationship with Clara, a married and wealthy friend of his father, which turns into an amoral fairy tale, with escapes to hotels and toy stores. Virgile's father disapproves of the situation; only his grandmother, l'Arquebuse, seems to understand him.
The novel was originally published in 1986; this paperback edition dates from 1988 and is part of the Folio collection.
Recommended for readers of French literary fiction interested in coming-of-age stories with a lively and carefree tone.
