Marguerite Yourcenar: Inventing a Life (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993) I don't remember which magazine had originally prompted me to read about Yourcenar (I think it was the New Yorker I read on the train ride to New York City a couple of weeks ago) but absolutely enjoyed Savigneau's biography of Yourcenar. Savigneau's recounting of Yourcenar's life and her attempts at constructing herself right from her bizarre youth with a wandering and philandering father, to her obsessions with young gay men and then her love for Grace Frick is truly remarkable and very French in tone. Throw a presidential campaign into the mix, and even the most assured woman could begin to crack under the pressure.
