Work Information
A Prix Goncourt-winning love story in which glamour and emptiness advance at the same speed.
One of Félicien Marceau's best-known works, this Prix Goncourt winner from 1969 centers on the relationship between Creezy, a Paris fashion model, and a married man. Through their affair, it contrasts urban glamour with the emotional waste beneath it.
