Marie Cardinal Publisher: Grasset Pages: 246 Year: 1972 Summary: The key on the door A forty-year-old woman tells about her life with her three children, in the apartment in Paris that she opened to all their friends. The key remains permanently on the door; everyone enters, leaves, camps as they please: a community experience based on total freedom. Closed and strict world of yesteryear versus free and open world of today; obedience to values against anarchic floating; race for success against refusal of success; laborious solitude against warm fraternity: these are the themes on which Marie Cardinal invites us to question ourselves in this personal and passionate book, rich in humor and emotion. The key on the door is the serious and picturesque novel of today's youth, written by an elder who knows how to be an accomplice. Condition: Used
