Nathalie Sarraute Fiction and Theory by Ann Jefferson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Nathalie Sarraute, initially hailed as a leading theorist and exemplar of the nouveau roman, is now regarded as a major French novelist in her own right. Ann Jefferson offers a new perspective on Sarraute's entire oeuvre-her fiction, her outstanding autobiography Enfance and her influential critical writings-by focusing on the crucial issue of difference that emerges as one of her central preoccupations. Jefferson explores Sarraute's fundamental ambivalence to differences of various kinds, including questions of gender and genre. | Nathalie Sarraute Fiction and Theory by Ann Jefferson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
