A Biography Tries to Bring Back a Forgotten French Novelist
Frédéric Andrau revisits the life and work of Geneviève Dormann, the novelist and polemical journalist, in a new book out next week.
Frédéric Andrau publishes « Geneviève Dormann. La femme phénomène » with Séguier on 12 November, according to Livres Hebdo. The book sets out to revive interest in Dormann, a novelist and polemical journalist whom the outlet describes as largely forgotten today.
Livres Hebdo notes that Andrau pays tribute to Dormann without quite managing to fully rehabilitate her reputation. The source material does not specify which of Dormann's novels or newspaper work the biography covers, nor does it give further detail on Andrau's approach or findings.
No other details about the book's length, structure or sourcing were included in the available information.
