From the moment the success of Bonjour Tristesse catapulted her into worldwide fame, Francoise Sagan has remained a favorite subject of international conversation.

Her literary reputation, celebrity friends, and fast-living habits long guaranteed her a spot in the social columns. Yet she remained a very private person and none but her close friends were allowed a glimpse into her inner life.

Now for the first time Sagan has opened the book on that life, writing about some of the famous people she has known and about herself. There are tributes to Billie Holiday, Jean-Paul Sartre; revealing cameos of Orson Welles, Rudolf Nureyev, Carson McCullers; a wistful evocation of Tennessee Williams. There are episodes from a life led on the brink: tales of all-night gambling and fast cars: a hilarious account of the author's adventures in the theatre: a nostalgic memoir of Saint Tropez when it was still just a fishing village: and brief essays on games of chance and the gifts of literature. With Fondest Regards is a seamless series of anecdotes that resound with generosity and brio, a literary entertainment about life among the privileged, the creative and the famous. And because it is also a work of love it is a book that we want never to end.
