«Amour noir» is a novel by Dominique Noguez published by Gallimard in paperback (180 pages, in French).
The narrator pauses on a woman's gaze and describes eyes of a brown so dark they seem black, bottomless, opaque and strangely inhuman. He compares them to the hardness of marble or to those of a bird of prey, and notes that those eyes look at him without seeing him, as if they could not love anyone. The scene tints the novel with an atmosphere of unease and distance.
It won the Prix Femina in 1997 and belongs to Gallimard's L'Infini collection.
For readers of French literary fiction seeking a short, visual novel with an unsettling atmosphere.
Dominique Noguez was a French writer. He won the Prix Femina in 1997, for Amour noir. He taught the history of film at the Sorbonne. He was an early defender of Michel Houellebecq.
