Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography.
Media Reviews
"...an extraordinary biography....It is, I think, in a class all its own as befits its phenomenally eccentric and prodigiously gifted subject, a one-time thief, prison inmate, ...who is one of the very greatest writers of 20th-century France."
