A Leopard-Skin Hat may be Anne Serre’s most moving novel yet. 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.
Translated from French by Mark Hutchinson.
