Count d'Orgel is handsome, charming, and carefree, a model of cool
aristocratic aplomb. His wife, the Countess, is beautiful and pure
and loves her husband more than anything in the world. But from the
moment the d'Orgels meet and befriend the clever young Francois de
Seryeuse backstage at the circus, all three of these supremely
civilized and witty people are caught up in an ever more intricate
and seductive dance of deception and self-deception. At Count
d'Orgel's masquerade ball, the real disguises are those of the
human heart.
Completed just before Raymond Radiguet's death at the age of
twenty, "Count d'Orgel's Ball" is a love story that is as
disturbing as it is delicious.
