L’Opoponax is a 1964 novel by Monique Wittig. It was translated into English in 1966[1].
L'Opoponax is about 'typical childhood experiences like the first day of school and the first romance'[1].
The novel won the Prix Médicis in 1964[1].
The New Yorker called it 'a charming feat of virtuosity'[1]. The New York Times Book Review said Wittig has 'made what can only be called a brilliant re-entry into childhood.'[1].
