«Salomé» is the novel by François Weyergans, published in 2005 by Éditions Léo Scheer in paperback (298 pages, in French).
A young filmmaker travels through 1960s Europe and discovers the opera Salomé; from then on he gives that name to the women he imagines, while being swept along by encounters in Venice, Amsterdam, night trains and airports. Between confession and irony, he begins psychoanalysis and prefers to tell everything to his typewriter.
Written between 1968 and 1969, though not published until 2005. The cover subtitles it «roman».
For readers of contemporary French fiction, especially those who appreciate introspection, cinema and an ironic tone.
