The Nemirovsky question : the life, death, and legacy of a Jewish writer in twentieth-century France
Suleiman, Susan Rubin, 1939-2017
Books
A fascinating look into the life and work of controversial French novelist Irene Nemirovsky. Irene Nemirovsky succeeded in creating a brilliant career as a novelist in the 1930s, only to have her life cut short: a 'foreign Jew' in France, she was deported in 1942 and died in Auschwitz. But her two young daughters survived, and as adults they brought their mother back to life. In 2004, 'Suite Francaise', Nemirovsky's posthumous novel, became an international best seller; some critics, however, condemned her as a 'self-hating Jew' whose earlier works were rife with anti-Semitic stereotypes.
