Fête

Translated from the French by Peter Wiles. In this surprising, witty, and shockingly cynical novel the author of the international success, The Law, treats the reader to a game of love as only the French could play it. In the pursuit of love, as evoked by Vailland, the chase is ruthless and the spoils sumptuous. For the victor, the adventure embodies all the sensual and intellectual experiences of a lifetime.
