Victor Serge
Author(s): Bill Marshall
This study introduces the reader to Victor Serge's life and extraordinary novels, locating them amidst crucial debates about revolution, communism, anarchism, literature and representation, and in comparison with his contemporaries. Marshall demonstrates that the voice of Serge is unified by a notion of dissent - an active dissent far removed from the quietism and conservatism of other dissidents.
Review(s):
“That the first book-length study of Victor Serge should not be published until 101 years after his birth is a scandal. Fortunately Bill Marshall's excellent book was worth waiting for ... After Marshall's book, there can be no excuse for not seeing Serge as one of the major French-language writers of our century. Marshall deserves a wide readership; if he succeeds in persuading more people to read, study and teach Serge, he will have achieved his purpose.” —French Studies
