Excess and Transgression in Simone de Beauvoir's Fiction

Alison Holland

Original title: Excess and transgression in Simone de Beauvoir's fiction

earliest edition we have, 2009 Taylor & Francis Group, 2017 230 pages

This work fills a gap in Beauvoir studies by focusing on the writer's frequently neglected novels and short stories, L'Invitée, Les Mandarins, Les Belles Images and La Femme Rompue. In illuminating the rich complexity of Beauvoir's style, it challenges the often accepted view that Beauvoir's writing is flat, detached and controlled.
