Strategies of “Writing the Self” in the French Modern Novel: C’Est Moi, Je Crois

Nathalie Sarraute, Marguerite Duras, and Alain Robbe-Grillet are the writers in whose work Angelini (foreign languages, Philadelphia U.) finds elements of the author’s life. Her study is informed by the theoretical work of Philippe Lejeune, Georges May, GTrard Genette, and others on autobiography, memoir, and confession. She emphasizes the different roles of the narrator in autobiography and autobiographical elements in fiction. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
