Commentary is a narrative-hovering between the genres of memoir, theory, and fiction-about a female artist whose abandonment by a lover precipitates a refiguration of her ideas on life, love, and art. Sauvageot died, after many stints in sanatoriums, at the age of 34. Commentaire was highly prasied in its time by Paul Claudel, Paul Valéry, André Gide, Charles Du Bos, René Crevel, ou Clara Malraux. This edition is co-translated by Christine Schwartz-Hartley (African Psycho) and Anna Moschovakis (The Jokers, The Possession).
