Editorial Reviews
Review
«Critics have long had considerable difficulty in dealing with the 'farfelu' in Malraux's writings. However, in this meticulously researched and well-written study, Professor Radulescu demonstrates that that element in three of his works - the early tales, 'La Condition humaine', and the 'Antimémoires' - is a rather singular mixture of love, sensual sexuality, and femininity. Using some of the techniques and insights of modern linguists and phenomenologists (Bachelard, Saussure) and of specialists in psychology and gender studies (Cixous, Doniger, Kristeva, Lévi-Strauss), she skillfully analyzes imagery, metaphor, and theme to shed a revealing new light on the dimensions of Malraux's imaginary world.» (Walter Langlois, University of Wyoming) «Domnica Radulescu hat mit ihrem Buch die Frage nach dem Frauenbild bei Malraux auf eine neue Art gestellt und einen wichtigen Schritt einer Lösung zugeführt. Das Buch sollte darüber hinaus auch als Beitrag zu einer neuen Lesart von Malraux' Werk angesehen werden, wie auch als Versuch, die methodischen Zugänge zu Malraux' Werk zu diversifizieren.» (Horst Hina, Romanische Forschungen)
