Non-Fiction Memoir
“Even if I lived a hundred lives, I still wouldn’t be
exhausted.” These words capture the intensity of the
experiences of Claude Lanzmann, a man whose acts have always
been a negation of resignation: a member of the Resistance
at sixteen, a friend to Jean-Paul Sartre and a lover to
Simone de Beauvoir, and the director of one of the most
important films in the history of cinema, Shoah. In these pages, Lanzmann composes a hymn to life that flows
from memory yet has the rhythm of a novel, as tumultuous as
it is energetic. The Patagonian Hare is the story of a man
who has searched at every moment for existential adventure,
who has committed himself deeply to what he believes in, and
who has made his life a battle. The Patagonian Hare, a number-one bestseller in France, has
been translated into Spanish, German, Italian, Hebrew,
Polish, Dutch, and Portuguese. Claude Lanzmann’s brilliant
memoir has been widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, was
hailed as “a true literary and historic event” in the pages
of Le Monde, and was awarded the prestigious
Welt-Literaturpreis in Germany.

Re: The Patagonian Hare
I think I'll try to refresh my French on this one--if I can find a French copy.
