![]() ![]() Throughout the book, Deutscher shows us the creative and often conflicting ways in which Beauvoir appropriates and transforms the phenomenological, existential, anthropological, Marxist, critical race, and psychoanalytic insights of her predecessors and peers to address oppressive phenomena such as sexism, racism, and ageism. The animating concept that structures the text as a whole is "conversion," a term that Deutscher takes up from Beauvoir and uses both literally and metaphorically as a way of understanding Beauvoir's own philosophical methodology. Deutscher is thoroughly familiar with the growing body of Beauvoir scholarship and she does a masterful job of integrating key insights from Beauvoir's many commentators into her analysis. Meticulously researched, this book offers an original interpretation of central existential concepts including ambiguity, repetition, freedom, alterity, reciprocity, and sedimentation, and their changing meanings in Beauvoir's work. ![]() Penelope Deutscher's The Philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir: Ambiguity, Conversion, Resistance is a wonderful addition to the Beauvoirian canon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, she must decide what price she’s willing to pay to claim the life that’s rightfully hers.

But the novel occasionally falters in its efforts to imbue the characters with psychological depth splitting the difference between a high-concept fairy tale and a realist novel is a hard trick to pull off. ![]() As metafiction, it succeeds brilliantly, sketching a grim global dilemma with the sort of wit and humanism that Italo Calvino, in a discussion of lightness in literature, described as 'weightless gravity'. The linguistic love triangles culminate in a somewhat chaotic dénouement, filled with comedy and coincidence. The characters all take turns as narrator, contributing their own incongruous understanding Tawada elevates the comedy of mistranslation to a principle of narrative. Tawada applies the same fairy-tale conventions-mistaken identity, unexpected metamorphosis-to the dilemmas of finding linguistic shelter in a world of rising seas and ceaseless migration.

Though his calling isquite different, Echenoz insists thatEmile is likewise an artist, one whose performance follows an ineluctable trajectory.
