«La passion des femmes» is a mystery novel by Sébastien Japrisot, published by Denoël in paperback (409 pages, in French).
On a deserted beach, a young man falls wounded by a gunshot to the chest. The women who have marked his life each tell, one by one, the story they shared with him and that could have led them to shoot. Each confession reveals a different facet of a contradictory hero, and together they reconstruct a puzzle in which the truth is not unique.
For readers of crime and mystery fiction, especially those who enjoy stories told from multiple voices.
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.
