Title: La Batarde
Author: Violette Leduc
ISBN: 9781564782892
Publisher: Dalkey Archive Press
Published: 2003
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Edition: 1
Condition Note: New from the publisher
Publisher Description: An obsessive and revealing self-portrait of a remarkable woman humiliated by the circumstances of her birth and by her physical appearance, La Bâtarde relates Violette Leduc's long search for her own identity through a series of agonizing and passionate love affairs with both men and women. When first published, La Bâtarde earned Violette Leduc comparisons to Jean Genet for the frank depiction of her sexual escapades and immoral behavior. A confession that contains portraits of several famous French authors, this book is more than just a scintillating memoir--like that of Henry Miller, Leduc's brilliant writing style and attention to language transform this autobiography into a work of art.
