AN INTIMATE GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF THIS REVERED AND ICONIC FRENCH WRITER Andre Gide, winner of the 1947 Nobel Prize for Literature, is a revered figure in French literature. The quirky, intimate and fascinating portrait drawn in these 'notes' can be relished by everyone, even those who have never read, or even heard of, Gide. Gide's friendship with Roger Martin du Gard lasted over 38 years. In his journal, Gide wrote of his friend, "with him I can let myself go and be perfectly natural. There is nobody whose presence now brings me greater comfort. With him I never feel that I am wasting my time." With this book readers' perceptions of this great literary figure deepen as they eavesdrop on their talk, probing each other, their work, other writers, mythology and death. An original, important and fascinating volume.
