3.0 out of 5 stars
Might have been better as "Memoirs",
By A Customer
This review is from: Anti-Memoirs (Paperback)
Surprisingly lackluster, considering the unconventional politics and adventuresome life of the author. He manages subsume his ego in historico-geographical detail, so that though he occupies a privileged position at some of the most charged moments of 20th century history, somehow there's just no story there.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Perhaps memoirs would have been more in order,
By A Customer
This review is from: Anti-Memoirs (Paperback)
Surprisingly unfascinating, considering the adventurous life and convention-breaking political conventions of the author. In an attempt to subsume the ego of the author in a mass of erudition and historo-geographical detail, Malraux sacrifices much of the sense of purpose that this book really needed.
