Marguerite Yourcenar: Reinventing a Life,
By
This review is from: Marguerite Yourcenar: Inventing a Life (Hardcover)
Such a magnificent writer deserves a better biography. This one is repetitive (do we need to know that a trunk was left behind so many times?) and could have used a more strict editor. Savigneau's dislike for Yourcenar's long-time companion Grace, presents a very one-sided view of their relationship. By hanging on Yourcenar's every word, Savigneau has created a book which is arid and difficult to read. More of Yourcenar's humanity might have given this biography a needed touch.
