A New Biography Asks What It Means to Write Marguerite Yourcenar's Life
On France Culture, Christophe Bigot discusses the book he has devoted to Yourcenar and the challenge of turning her life into biography.
Christophe Bigot was a guest on France Culture's Le Book Club on October 15 to discuss a biographical work he has devoted to Marguerite Yourcenar, according to the program's description.
The conversation, as framed by France Culture, centers on the craft of biography itself: what the form requires, how to write one, and why Yourcenar's life — described in the program notes as free and incisive — lends itself particularly well to biographical narrative.
No further details on the book's title, publisher, or publication date are given in the source material.
