About Delicacy
Delicacy, which was first published in French in 2009, is David Foenkinos' eighth novel. It focuses on a young woman named Natalie and her relationships with three different men, who are very different from one another and who are all captivated by her. The book stands out for its unusual and inventive structure: its chapters are very short, and the story is complemented by footnotes, short annotations, extracts from songs and other comments. Delicacy was an immediate popular and critical success: it had an initial print run of 100,000 copies and was awarded ten literary prizes, including the Prix Conversation and the Prix des Dunes. In 2011, it was adapted for the cinema, with Audrey Tatou playing the part of Natalie.
