--Content Introduction--
In her fifties, she begins dating a man thirty years younger. He leaves his girlfriend of the same age and falls in love with her with a passion he has never experienced before. But this intimate interlude is also political, and they are constantly subjected to malicious glances in the streets, restaurants and beaches. She becomes the "scandal girl" of her youth again, but now she feels no shame at all, but relief. In a way, he can no longer bear the beauty she once was, and she is just repeating her past. Although "he is her angel, evoking the past and making it everlasting", what does this mean for the future?

* Young Men encapsulates all the themes that are important to Erno: thoughts on the origins and progress of society, thoughts on being a woman and, once again, thoughts on abortion, which is at the heart of her book The Event.
