A Critical Companion to Jorge SemprúnJorge Semprún and the Myth of Woman

A Critical Companion to Jorge Semprún: Jorge Semprún and the Myth of Woman [In Jorge Semprún’s writing, gender identity is a frequent and complex preoccupation, predicated as it is on maternal loss and a confrontation with his own alterity as a Spanish exile in France and as a Buchenwald deportee. In this chapter, I will analyze Semprún’s engagement with the question of gender identity in a variety of texts that span a 40-year period, namely Le grand voyage (1963); L’évanouissement (1967); La deuxième mort de Ramón Mercader (1969); L’algarabie (1981); La montagne blanche (1986), Adieu, vive clarté … (1998); and “Les sandales” (2002).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In Jorge Semprún’s writing, gender identity is a frequent and complex preoccupation, predicated as it is on maternal loss and a confrontation with his own alterity as a Spanish exile in France and as a Buchenwald deportee. In this chapter, I will analyze Semprún’s engagement with the question of gender identity in a variety of texts that span a 40-year period, namely Le grand voyage (1963); L’évanouissement (1967); La deuxième mort de Ramón Mercader (1969); L’algarabie (1981); La montagne blanche (1986), Adieu, vive clarté … (1998); and “Les sandales” (2002).]
