Blurb
Renée, aged thirty-three and divorced from her serially unfaithful husband, reinvents herself as a dancer in France's music halls. When a wealthy suitor appears promising marriage and stability, Renée must choose between the security he represents and her hard-won life as an artist.
Colette's great novel of the stage was based on her experiences as a struggling music hall performer following her own divorce. By turns melancholy and funny, it is a pioneering work of autofiction and a vivid portrayal of one woman's quest for freedom.
Biography (Colette)
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) galt in Deutschland lange als Unterhaltungsautorin, deren Bücher von Eltern und ihren pubertierenden Kindern wegen der "frivolen" Stellen geschätzt wurden. In Frankreich dagegen wurde Colette bereits zu Lebzeiten als Schriftstellerin anerkannt und zur ersten weiblichen Präsidentin der Académie Goncourt berufen. Marcel Proust nannte sie "das menschlichste Herz in der modernen französischen Literatur".
