Very good
Very good. Recently translated from the French.
Kind of a misleading title—less self help, more cultural history, which I love
One of my all time favorite memoirs. I‘ve taught this in creative writing courses—an exceedingly well crafted and engaging narrative.
I read this in grad school and also taught it at least three times! A fascinating examination of the human condition.
I use this book in my creative writing course. Great anthology and the instructional portions are well written.
