The literary sensation of Paris in 1954 was "Bonjour Tristesse," a novel written by an eighteen year, old girl. By 1955 in translation it was offered to American readers. Some found it shocking but here was a talent extraordinary for its maturity of style and its adult perceptiveness of human character.
