Chéri and the End of Chéri - Colette

Descriere & specificații

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) was born in the village of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye, where she led an idyllic childhood. At the age of twenty, she married Henri Gauthier-Villars, known as Willy, a Parisian man of letters under whose name she published the Claudine novels. Separated from Willy in 1905, Colette supported herself as an actress before establishing her own reputation as a writer.

Her novel, The Pure and the Impure, is available as an NYRB Classic. nPaul Eprile is a publisher, poet, and translator.

He lives on the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, Canada. n nJudith Thurman is a biographer and critic.
