The governesses / Anne Serre ; translated from the French by Mark Hutchinson. by Serre, Anne, 1960- author. New York : New Directions Paperbook, 2018. Subjects Governesses -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780811228077 (paperback) : 081122807X (paperback) : Description:  108 pages ; 19 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In a large country house shut off from the world by a gated garden, three young governesses responsible for the education of a group of little boys are preparing a party. The governesses, however, seem to spend more time running around in a state of frenzied desire than attending to the children's education. One of their main activities is lying in wait for any passing stranger, and then throwing themselves on him like drunken Maenads. The rest of the time they drift about in a kind of sated, melancholy calm, spied upon by an old man in the house opposite, who watches their goings-on through a telescope. As they hang paper lanterns and prepare for the ball in their own honor, and in honor of the little boys rolling hoops on the lawn, much is mysterious: one reviewer wrote of the book's "deceptively simple words and phrasing, the transparency of which works like a mirror reflecting back on the reader."Written with the elegance of old French fables, the dark sensuality of Djuna Barnes and the subtle comedy of Robert Walser, this semi-deranged erotic fairy tale introduces American readers to the marvelous Anne Serre.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Serre Checked In Add Copy to MyList
