Raymond Radiguet wrote two books this, and Devil in the Flesh. I remember liking the later more. I need to reread it. Count d’Orgel’s
Ball is about Francois, a twenty-year-old who comes from a well to do
bourgeois family. He meets the d’Orgels, a distinguished upper-class
couple. Francois finds him attracted to
the wife Mahaut. She likes him as
well. The wife, Francois, and the
husband Anne are drawn into a triangle that has devastating effects on the
wife. The author died at 20. This is pretty distinguished for someone of
that age. Jean Cocteau, a great writer
in himself revised this book which says a lot.
