CATHERINE TEXIER is the author of six novels, including Love Me Tender, Panic Blood, Victorine, and Russian Lessons. Her memoir Breakup was an international bestseller. Victorine won Elle Magazine's "Readers' Best Novel of the Year" award in 2004. Love Me Tender was a Village Voice bestseller in 1987. Her work has been translated into ten languages, and has been widely reviewed in the national and international press. She has taught at Columbia University, University of Nebraska, Brooklyn College, Rutgers University and Hofstra University, and now teaches at the New School. She was born and raised in Paris, and lives in New York.
In unapologetic, sensuous prose, Catherine Texier's After David explores the languishing sex life of Eve, a writer in her early sixties who is the divorced mother of two grown daughters. Ignoring the concerns of friends and family, Eve satisfies her urges by having casual sex with the younger men she meets through online dating. But she can't fully shake the Catholic guilt over her relentless seductiveness, that is, until she begins a revitalizing affair with Jonah, a thirty-something jazz guitarist who gives her a new lease on life and tempts her to leave behind the complicated memories of a failed marriage.
