Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize A Leopard-Skin Hat may be Anne
Serre's most moving novel yet. Hailed in Le Point as 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, written in Anne Serre's signature style.
