Description
A slim but powerful work of metafiction by André Gide, this novel explores the intersection of writing and reality. A writer creates a character who lives in isolation, while the narrator is a social butterfly, discussing his own book with friends and incorporating their responses into its pages.
The result is both a nuanced satire of literary pretension and a remarkable literary invention, showcasing Gide's unique voice and skill as a writer. This new translation by Damion Searls brings out the full sparkle of the original work.
