Chéri
Romanen Chéri utspelar sig i det tidiga 1900-talets Paris, en mytisk tid då konsten blomstrade och den fria kärleken bejakades. I bokens centrum står Léa, en förmögen, medelålders kvinna och hennes vackre, nyckfulle, 24 år yngre älskare Chéri. Med skärpa och sensualism, inkännande och skoningslöst, skildrar Colette det psykologiska spelet mellan de älskande på ett sätt som gör att berättelsen känns helt modern trots att den skrevs för snart ett sekel sedan. Chéri utkom 1920 och samma år skrev Colette även en scenversion av boken. Sidonie Gabrielle Colette, mer känd som Colette, född 1873 i ett litet samhälle i Bourgogne, död i Paris 1954, är en av Frankrikes främsta 1900-talsförfattare. Hon har skrivit en rad böcker, många baserade på hennes eget frigjorda liv. "Det är det samtidigt sakliga och överdådiga i hennes språk och hennes ojämförbara sinne för detaljer som lyser genom decennierna. (...) Hård i sin blick, i sitt språk och i det oavbrutet fängslande." Kulturnytt, SR "Historien är både humoristisk och sorglig, eftersom åldersskillnaden tvingar relationen att ta slut. Jag älskar detaljerna det rosa, spetsgardinerna, pärlorna som skapar stämningen av sensualism, lyx och dekadens." Kommunalarbetaren "Romanen är en genial uppvisning av ståndsmässig ytlighet och underskön fransk syndighet, som skrivs fram med en osentimental språklig élan och precision. Detta i kombination med bokens sinnliga beskrivningar av möblemang, kulörer, material och blommor gör att Colettes prosa (och Björkmans översättning) blir en lustfylld läsning. När hon beskriver sina karaktärers kroppsliga fåfänga, som när Chéri ser sig själv i spegeln som en annan Dorian Gray, är hon intet annat än hänförande." Hufvudstadsbladet
