Le méchant petit jeune homme

About this book

"Her second collection of short texts was Le Méchant petit jeune homme (1983), the first story of which Des fenêtres pour les oiseaux [Windows for the Birds] was declared a 'masterpiece' by some critics, worthy of being published as a text standing alone. Lucille Cairns wrote '... lesbian desire is the one factor uniting these otherwise disparate narratives' (262). Philippe Triboit directed a made for television film La Fille du roi [The King’s Daughter] based on Des fenêtres pour les oiseaux"--The Literary Encyclopedia.
