«Confessions d'une radine» is the confessional novel by Catherine Cusset, published by Folio in paperback (145 pages, in French).
In these confessions, Catherine Cusset dissects her own stinginess with irony: her first impulse is always to calculate and save, though she wishes she could live more generously. She wonders whether her passion for writing might also be another form of avarice, an attempt to lose nothing and to profit even from emotions.
Originally published by Gallimard in 2003; this Folio edition, number 4053, was published in 2004.
For the general public interested in contemporary French literature and in first-person narrative with an ironic tone.
Catherine Cusset is a best-selling French novelist and the author of Life of David Hockney: A Novel, The Story of Jane, and 12 other novels published by Éditions Gallimard between 1990 and 2018. Some of her novels are described as autofiction, a French literary movement that is a hybrid of fiction and autobiography. Others are more romantic, but all share some recurring themes: the family, desire, and cultural conflicts between France and America. She stands out from her contemporaries with a direct, incisive, visual form of writing, marked by the influence of Anglo-Saxon novelists.
