Set in Paris in May 1968, the story brings together students, intellectuals, leftists and sexual anarchists amid barricades and a general strike; between idealism and chaos, it portrays loyalties, loves and personal contradictions in a society that is tottering.
The novel was originally published in 1971; this Akashic Books edition includes a preface by Larry Heinemann.
Suitable for readers of literary fiction and for those interested in the social and political history of France, especially May '68.
