Eric Rohmer’s first and only novel, ÉLISABETH, published in 1946, will be out in a new translation by Aaron Kerner next July.

The cover features a neatly cropped shot, probably from one of Rohmer’s films. Late summer or simply late afternoon by the seaside.

“Linklater described BLUE MOON as ‘this sad little howl into the night, of an artist being left behind,’ whereas NOUVELLE VAGUE throws off a youthful spirit of creative vigor.”
