About Friday
Friday is Michel Tournier’s debut novel, and is a retelling of Daniel Defoe’s 1719 adventure novel Robinson Crusoe. Although Friday initially follows the plot of Defoe’s novel quite faithfully, it also incorporates modern philosophical thought and ultimately subverts many of the key themes and moral messages of the original novel. It was first published in 1967, and won the Académie française’s prestigious Grand prix du roman that year.
