Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Michele Zackheim's debut novel is a fictional account of an American artist on the trail of the French writer, prominent lesbian, and cult heroine, Violette Leduc. Leduc was a contemporary of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean Paul Sartre, and Jean Genet. Many of the details of Leduc's life, revealed through her own novels and memoirs, are recounted in Zackheim's novel via the personage of Lili Jacobs, a fictional friend of the writer who recounts Leduc's life story to the American enthusiast. Fans of this period of French intellectual history, or those in the life of Leduc, will no doubt find the book enjoyable.
From Booklist
French writer Violette Leduc, a contemporary of Simone de Beauvior and Jean Genet, was a fixture of Paris' cafescene, writing and rewriting her personal history in relative obscurity until the publication of her novel La Batarde in 1965. When the book was nominated for the Prix Goncourt for fiction, the jury dropped it from consideration after deciding it was not fiction at all but autobiography. Now an unnamed American biographer has arrived in Paris to interview Lili Jacob, an old friend of Violette's. Lili's recollections of Nazi-occupied France (she was active in the Resistance, Violette sold butter on the black market) segue seamlessly into accounts of the biographer's travels, from walking alone in Auschwitz to lying in George Sand's bed, as the biographer tries to understand her own life by understanding Violette's. With all the weighty themes Zackheim has taken on--the slippery nature of autobiography, the Holocaust, mothers and daughters--it's not surprising that the parallels she draws are sometimes forced. Overall, though, she succeeds in weaving them together. June Vigor

Format:Taschenbuch
I discovered this novel after discovering Violette Leduc. I adore this book for its fleshing out of Leduc's life. It gives a lush and warm sense of her life and her version of madness, as well as the narrator's investigation into her own Jewish heritage. In some places, Zackheim's writing mirrored Leduc's. There's so little written about Leduc, which is such a tragedy.
