This is the major autobiographical statement from Nobel laureate André Gide. In the events and musings recorded here we find the seeds of those themes that obsessed him throughout his career and imbued his classic novels The Immoralist and The Counterfeiters.

Gide led a life of uncompromising self-scrutiny, and his literary works resembled moments of that life. With If It Die, Gide determined to relay without sentiment or embellishment the circumstances of his childhood and the birth of his philosophic wanderings, and in doing so to bring it all to light. Gide's unapologetic account of his awakening homosexual desire and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in debauchery in North Africa are thrilling in their frankness and alone make If It Die an essential companion to the work of a twentieth-century literary master.

Review:
?Brilliant... As a novelist and critic Gide has many times presented us with his spiritual autobiography: here are the facts of his life. The New York Times

Synopsis:
This is the major autobiographical statement from Nobel laureate Andre Gide. In the events and musings recorded here we find the seeds of those themes that obsessed him throughout his career and imbued his classic novels with such power. Gide led a life of uncompromising self-scrutiny, and his literary works resembled moments of that life. With If It Die..., Gide determined to relay without sentiment or embellishment the circumstances of his childhood and the birth of his philosophic wanderings, and in doing so to bring it all to light. Gide's unapologetic account of his awakening homosexual desire and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in debauchery in North Africa are thrilling in their frankness and alone make If It Die...an essential companion to the work of a twentieth-century literary master.
