Plante, David

Plante, whose novel Family was nominated for the National Book Award, is himself of Franco-American descent. He manages to capture the sense of disconnectedness that Nancy and her male friends experience as each struggles to define his or her identity in this riveting novel of wandering souls.

Recommended for lovers of arts and letters, students of recent history, and all academic and public libraries.

An excellent read for those interested in this fecund period among artists and writers across the pond.
