3.0 out of 5 stars
Might have been better as "Memoirs", May 23, 2000
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.

Perhaps memoirs would have been more in order, May 23, 2000
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.
