Description
Set against the backdrop of Communist-dominated Warsaw in the early 1970s, Madame tells the story of a young man's pursuit of sexual and intellectual maturity. His French teacher, "Madame," is the object of both his affections and aspirations as news of the Cultural Revolution in the West seeps through the city.
As news from the West influences his thoughts, Libera beautifully captures the exuberance and fantasies of a young mind in a repressive culture. With a remarkably subtle characterization, he brings to life one of the most memorable and unapologetic young narrators in contemporary fiction.
