Tropisms

Download Pearls series Tropisms broke molds and transformed possibilities in French literature. More elemental than experimental, it remains in a class by itself. It’s not merely the very first of the New Novels, but their original inspiration, and then again their outstanding exception, because Tropisms was not written to prove a point: it was written in the pure and delirious pursuit of truth, true moments, too fleeting and too fragile for the contrivance of plot. This book, elegant, simple, but mysterious, is a classic of French letters.
