Infos

Who are the green women? They are powerful (one is a disciplinarian teacher). They are mysterious (one haunts a house like a ghost). They are seductive (one marries her best friends father). And they are unbearably personal (one is the authors own mother).They are all aspects of their creator: Marie NDiaye, an author celebrated worldwide as one of Frances leading writers. Here, in her own skewed take on the memoir, NDiaye combs through all the menacing, beguiling, and revelatory memories submerged beneath the consciousness of a singular literary talent. Mysterious, honest, and unabashedly innovative, NDiayes self-portrait forces us all to ask questionsabout what we repress, how we discover those things, and how those obsessions become us.This 10thanniversary hardcover edition of Marie NDiayes genre-defying classic restores photographs that appeared in the original French edition alongside Jordan Stumps dazzling translation, revealing in English, at last, the complete vision of NDiayes influential masterpiece.
