Winner of the Grand Prix des Lectrices de Elle in 2000. This 2013 edition reproduces the text revised by the author; the work was originally published in 1999.
For readers of contemporary fiction and psychological thriller, especially those seeking stories focused on personal and social life in the United States.
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.
