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.

This erotic yet poignant literary work dares to venture into the aftermath of one woman's divorce and the passionate lopsided love affair that follows it. Reminiscent of Colette's Chéri, Catherine Texier's After David vividly captures a portrait of the fearlessly aging contemporary woman.
