Les Belles Images review critiques de Beauvoir's decline
The critique labels Simone de Beauvoir's latest novel Les Belles Images as slight and lacking discipline and humanity. It describes hollow Parisian elites led by Dominique and her daughter Laurence, and notes clumsy narration, wavering point of view, and a failure to evoke wit or insight. The piece laments missed potential and contrasts with Sagan's earlier influence.
