A novel from Bove’s early manner, written in the years following Mes amis (1924) and Bécon-les-Bruyères (1927), when his style was at its most spare and incisive. L’Amour de Pierre Neuhart follows, day by day, a man striving to understand what it means to love, and continually thwarted by his own awkwardness — a “realism of disarray” that Simenon and Modiano, among others, would later praise.
