«La Passion des femmes» is the mystery novel by Sébastien Japrisot, published by Folio in paperback (480 pages, in French).
On a deserted beach, a young man falls wounded by a gunshot to the chest. The women who have been important in his life each tell what they lived with him and why they ended up shooting him. Each confession is a facet of the same protagonist, and the reader must piece together the clues to discover who is telling the truth.
Published on 23 June 1988 in paperback, it corresponds to volume 1950 of the Folio collection by Gallimard.
For the general public, and especially for fans of mystery and French literature who want to read Japrisot in his original language.
Sébastien Japrisot was a French author, screenwriter and film director. His pseudonym was an anagram of Jean-Baptiste Rossi, his real name. Renowned for subverting the rules of the crime genre, Japrisot broke down the established formulas "into their component pieces to re-combine them in original and paradoxical ways." Some critics argue that though Japrisot's work may lack the explicit experimental element present in the novels of some of his contemporaries, it shows influences of structuralist theories and the unorthodox techniques of the New Novelists.
