A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre

A Leopard-Skin Hat by Anne Serre

A Leopard-Skin Hat may be Anne Serre's most moving novel yet. Hailed in Le Point as a 'masterpiece of simplicity, emotion and elegance,' it is the story of an intense friendship between the Narrator and his close childhood friend, Fanny, who suffers from profound psychological disorders. A series of short scenes paints the portrait of a strong-willed and tormented young woman battling many demons, and of the narrator's loving and anguished attachment to her. Serre poignantly depicts the bewildering back and forth between hope and despair involved in such a relationship, while playfully calling into question the very form of the novel. Written in the aftermath of the death of the author's little sister, A Leopard-Skin Hat is both the celebration of a tragically foreshortened life and a valedictory farewell, written in Anne Serre's signature style.

ANNE SERRE (b. 1960) is the author of fifteen books, as well as numerous short stories and essays, and the recipient of a 2008 Cino del Duca Foundation award. Her first novel Les Gouvernantes was praised in La Croix for 'its remarkable economy of style and in Liberation as 'a delightful Sabbath'. From its publication in 1992, till 2000, she worked under a pseudonym as book editor of a leading magazine for women. Serre won the 2020 Goncourt de la nouvelle for her short story collection Au coeur d'un ete tout en or (All in the Golden Afternoon). The Beginners (2021) was Serre's third book to be translated into the English. MARK HUTCHINSON's many translations include Rene Char's Hypnos: Notes from the French Resistance and The Inventors and Other Poems.
