Taxi by Violette Leduc
The Taxi by Violette Leduc. 1972 FSG, first U.S. edition, 88 pages. Leduc was a French author of often erotic fiction and autofiction, Simeone de Beauvoir's "protege", gay, and perpetual outsider. According to the Paris Review: "Leduc is often referred to as a writer’s writer, which carries connotations of highbrow experimentation. Yet her oeuvre, far from being tricksy or inaccessible, contains some of the rawest and most authentic conjurations of human subjectivity—self-loathing, vanity, lust, greed, joy, despair—that readers will ever encounter." The Taxi is an incest/love story told entirely in dialogue.
Condition: Jacket Good+, pen mark on price on front flap, some wear, book VG
"Nothing is serious except getting sick."
