Über den Autor

Violette Leduc had been publishing works of an autobiographical nature in France since 1945. But, aside from the enthusiastic support of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and certain other intellectuals, she had gone unnoticed until the publication of La Batarde (1964) propelled her to fame---in mehr anzeigen part, no doubt, for "the candor in the totally uninhibited descriptions of [her] Lesbian loves. . . . This, the story of [her] first forty years, is a courageous confession and a work of art, . . . a weird mixture of burning, naive, lucid, and unadorned sincerity . . . and of poetic inner monologue" (Henri Peyre, SR).

Kurzbiographie
Violette Leduc was born the illegitimate daughter of a domestic servant and was raised in Valenciennes. Her education was interrupted by World War I, but after the war she attended boarding school. In 1926, she moved to Paris and and enrolled in the Lycée Racine. She failed her baccalaureate exam, and began working as a telephone operator and secretary at Plon, a publishing firm. Leduc became part of the Existentialist circle that included Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Nathalie Sarraute, and Maurice Sachs. They encouraged her writing and she became a successful novelist. Many of her books were sexually explicit and considered shocking in their day. Leduc also published a controversial autobiography entitled "La Bâtarde" (The Bastard) in 1964, which became a bestseller. She died at age 65 of breast cancer.
