«L’élève troublé» is the novel by François-Guillaume Lorrain, published by Fayard in paperback (162 pages, in French).
The narrative takes the form of a tense inner dialogue: as a former student looks back on the relationship they had when he was eighteen — the loves that are lamented, the loneliness, work as the only consolation —, the narrator merely replies «Bien sûr». Little by little, the other’s words become an accusation that forces a reconsideration of what happened.
The Fayard paperback edition dates from 1995; the subtitle of the work is «roman», and the catalogs classify it within French literary fiction.
For readers of contemporary French fiction looking for a short story with an introspective tone, centered on memory and abuse of power.
