«En toute innocence» is a novel by Catherine Cusset, published by Gallimard in paperback (129 pages, in French).
Marie recounts her life between the ages of twelve and twenty: eight years marked by several loves and by direct questions: how can one be a virgin at twenty, not know English, or not go mad. Three times love meets death, and three corpses punctuate Marie's story.
The work was originally published in 1995; this paperback edition was published on April 25, 2001.
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.
