«L'Éternel sentit une odeur agréable» is the novel by Jacques Chessex, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (155 pages, in French).
The novel follows Jules-Henri Mangin, a young orphan who recalls a dry, burning summer of 1960 in the Jura. Obsessed with certain smells, he serves mass and helps stage a play by Roger Vailland. His friendship with a cold-eyed libertine initiates him into pleasure and vice, until a scandal shakes the village.
The work originally appeared in 2004; this paperback edition, part of the Ldp Litterature collection, was published in 2008.
Will appeal to readers of contemporary French fiction and literary fiction with coming-of-age and rural scandal plots.
Jacques Chessex was a Swiss author and painter.
