The miscreant

Cocteau, Jean, 1889-19632003
Books, Manuscripts
A sparkling evocation of the Parisian scene of the 1920s, this novel is also a study of loneliness and youthful disenchantment. It is a perfect showcase for the savage irony and epigrammatic wit that consistently distinguished Cocteau's brilliant and highly individualistic prose style.
