Origin

late Middle English: via French from late Latin mucilago'musty juice', from Latin mucus (see mucus).

récit, ( French:: “narrative” or “account”) a brief novel, usually with a simple narrative line. One of the writers who consciously used the form was André Gide. Both L’Immoraliste (1902; The Immoralist) andLa Porte étroite (1909; Strait Is the Gate) are examples of the récit. Both are studiedly simple but deeply ironic tales in which the first-person narrator reveals the inherent moral ambiguities of life by means of seemingly innocuous reminiscences. Another example of a récit is Albert Camus’s La Chute (1956; The Fall).
