It was Mauroy, after all, who had announced only in February that he "would not be the man of the third devaluation of the franc," and who, during the municipal election campaign, had blandly assured voters that in the struggle for economic equilibrium, "the worst is behind us."

In Legends, a sculptor submits to yet another interview about her love affair with a famous composer, long dead; this time the questions prod her into a painful re-examination of the past and, ultimately, to the realization that she has produced work of value on her own.
