Batarde (French Literature)

Batarde (French Literature)

An obsessive and revealing self-portrait of a remarkable woman humiliated by the circumstances of her birth and by her physical appearance, La BÃ¢tarde relates Violette Leducâ€™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 BÃ¢tarde 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 memoirâ€•like that of Henry Miller, Leducâ€™s brilliant writing style and attention to language transform this autobiography into a work of art.
