This is a fairly obscure novella, but has anyone here read it

I haven't read it but I'm bumping out of sympathy. If it's short and you say it's worth it, I'll look it up. Do you happen to have a digital copy?

Cheers! Unfortunately not, otherwise I would share. I do think I've tried finding it online (in English) without success in the past, but if you find it please let me know. Otherwise I'd try ordering it from a larger library.

It's very short but thought-provoking. I think perhaps it would speak more to women than men, but it would certainly be interesting to hear a man's perspective on it. I think it describes female coming-to-age better than I have ever read before. In a philosophical, deeply psychological sort of way. It is Beauvoir after all, not some Jane Austen shit.

Essentially, I think it is the most raw and accurate portrayal of growing up as a woman and struggling with self-identity, authenticity and self-fulfillment. And don't get me wrong: not in the custom "I'm a teen whatever will I do with my life"-sorta way, but in a philosophical/psychological sense. It has clear connections with The Second Sex. That is, dealing with what it means to define yourself as an appendage, almost.

I really recommend it. You might not agree with it, especially if you are male, but you will find it interesting. I dare to promise that much.
