"The Devil in the Flesh" is a simple, powerful love story dealing with a teenage boy's love for a woman who is a little bit older. Set in France during the first world war. One of my favorites. Radiguet wrote this at the age of 17 and died three years later of typhoid. He was a protege of Jean Cocteau and received a fantastic amount of attention from the Parisian literary scene of the early 1920s. A fascinating person and a fascinating book. Read it!
