Understanding Claude Simon
In 1985 Claude Simon won the Nobel Prize for Literature. This book provides an introduction to, and survey of, the most important novels written by a man considered by many to be the most important and innovative writer of the French New Novel group. The book's introduction situates Simon in the context of 20th-century French literature. Ten chapters are devoted to the principle works published by Simon, from The Wind (1957) to his masterpiece The Georgics (1981). The bibliography lists the most significant critical studies in English and French devoted to his work.

Reputed to be a conservative group, the Nobel Prize committee astonished the world in 1985 by giving its prize to Claude Simon, one of the most adventurous and challenging of modern authors whose writing defies easy classification. This study shows exactly how inventive and challenging he is. Simon’s works run the gamut from first-person narratives to narratives without a stable perspective. His novels deal with minute details of the grand stages of history—world war, for instance—and with the historical dimensions of everyday life. Mária Minich Brewer demonstrates that Simon has reformulated the standard forms of fiction to expose the logic of narrative, a complex and powerful legacy...
