Awaiting: the drôle de guerre» in un balcon en forêt
Abstract
In the lines that follow I pose a commentary on one of Julien Gracq’s best known novels, based on the author’s own experience during the so-called «drôle de guerre». I aim to account for the way in wich Gracq transfigured that experience of his into a work of fiction. I also examine some of the structural, thematic and stylistic features of the novel.Downloads
