Lucette Desvignes : The Artist in the Arena

This is the first ever comprehensive review in the English language of Lucette Desvigne's literary output. In a veritable tour-de-force Jerry Curtis, Professor of French at Ohio State University, Newark, provides an encyclopedic portrait of the towering contemporary French author, poet and playwright (including extracts and hitehrto unpublished work of hers), who was defined by former French Minister of Cluture Lecat, as "a literary event" in France on her own accord.
