The paradoxes of great literature are those of human nature, and Colette is nothing if not human . . . Accessible and elusive; greedy and austere; courageous and timid; subversive and complacent; scorchingly honest and sublimely mendacious; an inspired consoler and an existential pessimist--these are the qualities of the artist and the woman. Its is time to rediscover them. "From the Introduction"
"The Vagabond," one of the first and best feminist novels ever written, is that rare thing: a great book which is also inspiring. "Erica Jong""
