«Des gens comme les autres» is Alison Lurie's novel, published by Rivages in paperback (214 pages, in French).
A novel narrated as the diary of Janet «Belle» Smith, a writer of mediocre stories seeking new creative horizons at an artists' colony. Dealing with painters, writers and poets makes her wonder whether artists are people like any others; the arrival of Anna May rekindles rivalries, jealousies and desires in a satirical portrait.
Alison Lurie's fourth novel, originally published in 1969 as «Real People»; this 1991 edition, translated by Marie-Claude Peugeot, belongs to the Bibliothèque étrangère collection.
For readers of French fiction who appreciate social satire and twentieth-century American literature.
Alison Stewart Lurie was an American novelist and academic. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her 1984 novel Foreign Affairs. Although better known as a novelist, she wrote many non-fiction books and articles, particularly on children's literature and the semiotics of dress.
