La Dame Blanche by Christian Bobin
To this day, Emily Dickinson remains a beloved and enigmatic figure in American poetry. This lady in white, who shut herself away from the world and found solace alone with her words, has since her death been viewed primarily through the lens of her poetry, which afforded her beauty and hope amid the agony and loneliness of her life. As a reclusive writer himself, contemporary French author Christian Bobin felt a kindred tie to the poetess, and his book The Lady in White honors Dickinson in the form of a brief, poetically imagined account of her life and the work that she gave the world. This fresh and personal interpretation of Dickinson's life leaves one with an impression of knowing Dickinson both through her poetry, as recalled by Bobin, and as he senses the person she was through her work and the sparse facts we have about her life. Christian Bobin is a writer from the small town of Le Creusot, France. More than forty of his works have been published, several of which have been translated into English. Bobin won the Prix des Deux Magots in 1992 for his work Le Tr s-bas (The Very Lowly). Alison Anderson is the translator of J. M. G. Le Cl zio's Mondo and Other Stories (Nebraska, 2011) and Onitsha (Nebraska, 1997) as well as two collections of lyric essays by Christian Bobin, A Little Party Dress and I Never Dared Hope for You.
Christian Bobin is the author of more than 40 short works, including The Secrets of Francis of Assisi and The Very Lowly: A Meditation on Francis of Assisi.
