Nathalie Sarraute (1900-99) is regarded as one of the major French
novelists of the twentieth century. Initially hailed as a leading
theorist and exemplar of the nouveau roman, she has come to be
regarded as an important author in her own right with her own
distinctive concerns. In this major 2000 study of Sarraute, the
first in English since her death, Ann Jefferson offers a fresh
perspective on Sarraute's entire oeuvre - her novels, her
outstanding autobiography Enfance and her influential critical
writings - by focusing on the crucial issue of difference which
emerges as one of her central preoccupations. Drawing on a variety
of critical approaches, Jefferson explores Sarraute's fundamental
ambivalence to differences of various kinds including questions of
gender and genre. She argues that difference is simultaneously
asserted and denied in Sarraute's work, and that the notion of
difference, so often celebrated by other writers and thinkers, is
shown in Sarraute's work to the inseparable from ambiguity and
anxiety.
