- French Literature under the Threat of War

About Absent without Leave

Georges Bataille, Michel Leiris, Roger Caillois, Andre Malraux, the early Jean-Paul Sartre-these were writers torn between politics and the pleasures of the text, maturing in a world that would have no place for literature. And yet, Hollier shows, their work profoundly affected literary enterprise in the English-speaking world.
