Finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and an international bestseller, Patrick deWittâs brilliant and darkly comic novel is now a major motion picture starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
Frances Price â tart widow, possessive mother, and Upper East Side force of nature â is in dire straits, beset by scandal and impending bankruptcy. Her adult son Malcolm is no help, mired in a permanent state of arrested development. And then thereâs the Priceâs aging cat, Small Frank, who Frances believes houses the spirit of her late husband, an infamously immoral litigator and world-class cad whose gruesome tabloid death rendered Frances and Malcolm social outcasts.
Putting penury and pariahdom behind them, the family decides to cut their losses and head for the exit. One ocean voyage later, the curious trio land in their beloved Paris, the City of Light serving as a backdrop not for love or romance, but self-destruction and economic ruin â to riotous effect.
Brimming with pathos and wit, French Exit is a one-of-a-kind âtragedy of manners,â a riotous send-up of high society, as well as a moving mother and son caper which only Patrick deWitt could conceive and execute. A finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and an international bestseller upon its original publication, French Exit is now a major motion picture starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges and with a script by Patrick deWitt.
