«Des hommes en général et des femmes en particulier» is Claude Sarraute's humorous essay in paperback (Pocket, 229 pages, in French).
With irony, Sarraute explores the battle of the sexes: from creation and chromosomes to the codes of male and female speech. She reviews the flaws of men and women, sparing neither chauvinists nor superwomen, and tackles with humor sex, love, children, and the difficulty of living together or apart.
Work in French published by Pocket in 1998 within its Literature and Fiction catalog.
For readers who enjoy ironic humor and the observation of relationships between men and women.
