"The Messy Bed" revives two characters from "One Month, One Year Later": actress Beatrice and provincial young man Edward. Five years after they broke up, they met again. Edward grew from an unknown young man to a playwright with a promising future, and Beatrice continued to pursue her career ambitions with her beauty. He loves her, she needs him - the actress' affair with the playwright arouses the curiosity of those around her. In the privacy of the living room, the power relationship between the two is ever-changing. Sagan uses "playwright" and "actress" to compare the two parties in love, sharply depicting a kind of modern love that combines narcissism, inferiority, self-deception and other human weaknesses. Nothing is more unreal than those so-called "realistic" novels - they are pure nightmares. It is possible to achieve certain emotional truths in a novel-the true emotions of a character-and nothing else. --Françoise Sagan
