The young French critic, novelist and filmmaker Camille de Toledo tells the sad /exuberant story of young French intellectuals growing up at the end of everything. May '68 long past—in a post-modern culture of spectacle and dead activisms—how do the new intelligentsia find a way to re-activate their lives, their language and their culture?

  • Read an excerpt from Coming of Age at the End of History.
