In His Arms
A woman looks back over her life through the men in it, from her father to her lovers, in short titled sections addressed to an analyst. Each section is a gesture or a scene of holding, and together they build a portrait of desire and its habits. Laurens's best-known novel in the autofictional vein of contemporary French writing.
