The wife of Martin Guerre
earliest edition we have, 1967 Reino de Redonda, 2016
Long enough to develop complex characters, yet concise enough for unity of effect, the “beautiful and blessed nouvelle” — as Henry James called it — seems capable of rare artistic perfection. And one of its most perfect examples is Janet Lewis’s “The Wife of Martin Guerre.” (from a review in Washington Post Newspaper. The novel was published in 1941)
