Vies et morts de Sophie Blind Vous n’aviez pas pu lire en français Susan Taubes avant aujourd’hui mais sort enfin à la rentrée, chez Rivages, le premier roman de cette écrivaine et universitaire américaine d’origine hongroise, suicidée peu après la parution, en 1969, de Divorcing, son titre original. « C’est simple, il n’y a rien que cette femme ne sache écrire », écrit Jakuta Alikavazovic en préface, qui sait de quoi elle parle puisque c’est elle qui l’a traduite.

Let’s​ start with her life, which is as operatically strange as the fiction. Susan Taubes was born Judit Zsuzánna Feldmann in Budapest in 1928. Her father was one of Freud’s disciples; his father was chief rabbi of Budapest. At the age of eleven, she and her father left Hungary for the United States (her mother stayed behind to marry someone else) and watched from afar as the German occupation demolished their home city.
