Ann Jefferson's \u003cem\u003eNathalie Sarraute: A Life Between\u003c\/em\u003e is the authoritative biography of this major writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarraute's life spanned a century and a continent. Born in tsarist Russia to Jewish parents, she was soon uprooted and brought to the city that became her lifelong home, Paris. This dislocation presaged a life marked by ambiguity and ambivalence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA stepchild in two families, a Russian émigré in Paris, a Jew in bourgeois French society, and a woman in a man's literary world, Sarraute was educated at Oxford, Berlin, and the Sorbonne. She embarked on a career in law that was ended by the Nazi occupation of France, and she spent much of the war in hiding, under constant threat of exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRising to literary eminence after the Liberation, she was initially associated with the existentialist circle of Beauvoir and Sartre, before becoming the principal theorist and practitioner of the avant-garde French novel of the 1950s and 1960s. Her tireless exploration of the deepest parts of our inner psychological life produced an oeuvre that remains daringly modern and resolutely unclassifiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNathalie Sarraute: A Life Between\u003c\/em\u003e explores Sarraute's work and the intellectual, social, and political context from which it emerged. Drawing on newly available archival material and Sarraute's letters, this deeply researched biography is the definitive account of a life lived between countries, families, languages, literary movements, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844883697900,"sku":"9780691197876","price":180.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1965903482434.jpg?v=1758859495"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/ann-jefferson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
