Mademoiselle Chanel from literature, French Salinger and Fitzgerald, literary granddaughter Colette, literary goddaughter Marguerite Duras, scandalous star, gambler, playboy, subtle psychologist . . . Francoise Sagan, who thundered with her very first novel "Hello, sadness!" (1954), is an invariably fresh voice, crystal honestly speaking about what living people think and feel. Sagan's books have been translated into dozens of languages, are read and reread by millions of people around the world, and are enthusiastically adapted by filmmakers. In her books, Sagan, sensitively attuned to the subtle vibrations of every day she lived, rarely turned to historical events. However, in both novels included in this edition, "And the Cup Overflowed" and "Fishblood," set in 1942, during the Nazi occupation of France, their characters, trying to stay above the fray and maintain ironic neutrality in the midst of the general madness, are eventually forced to face the facts and choose a side. And "In memory of the Best" is a collection of Sagan's memoirs: about her friendship with Billie Holiday, Tennessee Williams, Orson Welles and Jean—Paul Sartre, about her turbulent youth in Saint Tropez, about casinos and books, about the work of those whom she admired, and about her selfless, selfless love for them.
