At eighteen, Françoise Sagan shot to stardom in France with the 1954 publication of her shocking novel Bonjour Tristesse, which explored themes of hedonism and sexual liberation and achieved international success. The young author became a legend and her fast lifestyle a symbol of postwar cynicism. As celebrity gossip columns kept the public informed (and misinformed) about her expensive tastes, changing lovers, and passion for drink and gambling, Sagan continued to write, avoiding the public eye whenever possible. Now, in this collection of interviews prepared by her French publisher, readers are granted the rare opportunity to meet the real woman behind the myth.
