amazing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
sarraute has an amazing ability with language. this novel addresses the most subtle and essential aspects of existing as a human being in a world with other human beings and the language she uses captures it dead-on. the existential self and its relationship to its context are explored with almost painful precision. amazing. open to any page and you will see your existence described in such exactitude you never thought possible through human words.
