The Unforgivables is a novel that contains the turning points and bottlenecks of an author who is in his 60s and whose popularity in his youth has diminished, and thus his writing. In The Unforgivables, Djian's casual, sincere and impressive style draws us into a story that runs parallel to Francis' creative process as a writer and the creation processes of the problems in his life. Francis, just one of the Unforgivables, is a father, a husband, an old friend from high school who carries the influence of the past on him, trying to accept the mistakes of deaths and lives while trying to turn to loneliness and his writings, which are his shelter, to stand against him; A grandfather who can also be treacherous, suspicious, selfish and cruel. Francis voluntarily vacillates between reacting to extremes with the maturity imposed by old age and, on the other hand, expressing the feeling that old age does not mean ugliness, weakness, or monotony. He constructs not only his novels but also his life. Francis is an aware character. Djian creates vivid "people" in our imagination with his analyzes and descriptions. They are in conflict with each other, can lead to brutal endings, break and destroy each other, but try to reach each other in order to rebuild, cross paths, understand; but the one who conceals, the one who knows; but the people who don't ask are Djian's "unforgivables". Those who cannot be forgiven are not the perpetrators of the mistakes that ruined their lives, but on the contrary, they built those lives.
