Title : Against the Grain - Henri Vincenot - book

Summary :

Forced to abandon her higher education, Catherine Lorriot accepted a position as a teacher near Paris. This daughter of Burgundian peasants is delighted to live close to the "people." But many disappointments await her in this suburb of the early sixties. These "blousons noirs" aged ten to fourteen who swear, steal, disrupt the class, and show her no respect—are they from the same "people" as her? She will have to make a great effort to understand these kids left to their own devices and caught in the traps of consumer society at her birth... In this novel published in 1962, the author of La Billebaude and Rampart de la Miséricorde analyzes with lucidity and humor some surprisingly topical problems.
