Spanning seven decades, Nathalie Sarraute''s literary career has established her as one of the most prominent and highly respected French writers of the twentieth century. From the outset she has sought, through consistent formal innovation, to develop a mode of literary expression adequate toan endlessly mobile and mutable self stifled as much in public discourse as in traditional fictional characterization. Central to that enterprise is the dream of full and transparent communication with another, and ultimately with an ideal reader. This study is the first to explore in detail theinteraction between the increasing move towards dialogue in Sarraute''s prose works (Tu ne t''aimes pas is an extreme example), and the dialogue those works initiate with their readers. Intensely aware of the pitfalls of communication, both spoken and written, Sarraute''s prose writings illuminate notonly the dynamics of conversation, but also those of the reading process. | Reading Nathalie Sarraute by Emer O'Beirne Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Literary Criticism > Criticism & Theory P10106, Emer O'Beirne<

Nathalie Sarraute is one of the most prominent French writers of the twentieth century. This study explores the evolution of Sarraute's prose writings from intense concern with shaping the response of their readers, to the more recent withdrawal of the authorial voice into self-sufficient internal dialogue. Emer O'Beirne considers the growing disillusionment with the reader reflected in Sarraute's work.
