«Les privilèges» is the novel by Jonathan Dee, published by Plon in 2011 in paperback (307 pages, in French).
Adam and Cynthia, married since college, form a perfect couple with two children and brilliant careers in finance. Behind the facade, their intimacy is empty and their ambition turns them into prisoners of success. It is a cynical portrait of the ultra-rich in post-9/11 America, where privilege conceals profound decadence.
Translation by Élisabeth Peellaert; originally published as «The Privileges» and part of the Feux croisés collection. Finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
With its themes of family, marriage and ambition, it is suitable for book clubs and readers of literary fiction.
