"Sexy, intelligent . . . biting, too." -Keziah Weir, Vanity Fair

The debut novel by the acclaimed author of Flaneuse and Art Monsters, Lauren Elkin's Scaffolding is a story of Paris, desire, love, psychoanalysis, and the turbulent affairs of two couples across time.

Paris, 2019. An apartment in Belleville. Following a miscarriage and a breakdown, Anna, a psychoanalyst, finds herself unable to return to work. Instead, she obsesses over a kitchen renovation and befriends a new neighbor-a younger woman called Clementine who has just moved into the building and is part of a radical feminist collective.

Paris, 1972. The same apartment in Belleville. Florence and Henry are renovating their kitchen. She is finishing her degree in psychology, dropping into feminist activities, and devotedly attending the groundbreaking, infamous seminars held by the renowned analyst Jacques Lacan. She is hoping to conceive their first child, though Henry isn't sure he's ready for fatherhood.

Two couples, fifty years apart, face the challenges of marriage, fidelity, and pregnancy. They inhabit this same small space in separate but similar times-times charged with political upheaval and intellectual controversy. A novel in the key of Eric Rohmer, Lauren Elkin's Scaffolding is about the way our homes collect and hold our memories and our stories, about the bonds we create and the di?culty of ever fully severing them, about the ways all the people we've loved live on in us.
