About this title

Synopsis

On July 13, 1942, French gendarmes arrested Ir�ne N�mirovsky in southern Burgundy. She was deported to Auschwitz where she died on August 19. Who was this woman, author of more than a dozen popular novels and more than thirty short stories, whose posthumous novel, Suite Fran�aise, won France's prestigious Renaudot prize in 2004? Born in Russia to wealthy parents, Ir�ne N�mirovsky immigrated to Paris in 1919. Although she was Jewish, she consorted with authors and politicians on the extreme right, some of whom were openly anti-Semitic. She was sure that these friends would protect her from deportation after the Nazis invaded France. Instead, they abandoned her. Yet she never lost faith in France, even after she was refused French nationality. In this fascinating biography, Jonathan Weiss analyzes the discrepancy between N�mirovsky's real and imagined identities, and explores a literary work that revisits in a unique way Jewish identity, exile, betrayal, and the solidarity of a persecuted people.

About the Author

Jonathan Weiss is Professor of French Language and Literature at Colby College. In 1996, he met Ir�ne N�mirovsky's two daughters. With their help, he was able to consult all the documents that their mother had passed on to them. This biography is the result of that research and of close textual analysis of N�mirovsky's literary work.
