About “Le Grand écart”
Jacques Forestier, the central character of Jean Cocteau's 1921 novel, is a parasite and dilettante who responds readily to beauty in both sexes. Leaving his provincial family to study for his degree in Paris, he indulges in a life of dissipation with a group of students and their mistresses, falls in love with Germaine, a chorus girl kept by a rich banker, and is forced to confront himself as the doomed affair unfolds.
