"To all those who have for several years sought to discredit the
new American literature, Lawrence Ferlinghetti has just dealt a
most powerful blow," wrote French critic Pierre Lepape in 1961 when
Her was published in France as La Quatrieme Personne du Singulier.
Calling it "a masterpiece of the young American novel," Lepape
declared it was "the confirmation of a great American writer who,
in the hall of American literary glories, takes the place left
vacant by the death of Hemingway." Lepape went on to speak of the
"incredible verbal virtuosity" by which the reader is led through
this "laby-reve," and it is this image of the "labyrinth-dream"
which relates Her to the anti-novels of the young French school of
Robbe-Grillet and Butor. Being thus very far from the kind of
novels produced by Ferlinghetti's immediate contemporaries (whether
Beat or academic) this book has met with little but bafflement
among American critics. With well over 50,000 now in print Her
nevertheless continues to make its own way.
