«Épaves» is the novel by Julien Green, published by Éditions du Seuil in paperback (292 pages, in French).
Set in Paris, the novel follows the grey existence of an indifferent, self-absorbed man trapped by a morbid fascination with himself. His negligence, tinged with cowardice, barely manages to disturb his conscience, and only fleetingly.
The work was originally published in 1932; this 1985 edition is number R212 in the Points collection, roman series, complete text.
For those interested in the work of Julien Green and twentieth-century French fiction, with a taste for psychological portraits.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
