First US printing. Film critic and translator's first novel, the story of 3 young people in Paris in 1968 whose addiction to movies turns into sexual role playing. One British review called it 'a slyly serious exploitation of two absorbing pastimes, the cinema and sex.' Basis for the 2003 movie 'The Dreamers' directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Since Adair re-wrote this novel at the same time as he worked on the screenplay and issued it under the same title as the movie, 'The Dreamers' it is probable that this book will never be re-issued in the original form. Becoming increasing hard to find. Very near fine in a fine dustjacket (remainder line, a tight copy, appears unread.) .ISBN # 0-525-247882
