GEORGE SAND - SÉVERINE VIDAL KARTONIERT (TB)

A graphic biography of female novelist George Sand  whose life and work championed women’s
rights  gender expression  and sexual liberation.    George Sand: True Genius  True Woman is a
scrupulously researched and tenderly revealing biography of one of the great pioneering figures
of 19th-century French literature. Born in 1804—at a time when women were deprived of their
civil rights (along with minors  criminals  and the insane)—Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin grew
up to defy those norms  both in her life and her writing. Adopting the gender-neutral pen name
George Sand  and in a career lasting over forty years as a novelist and playwright  she is best
remembered today for the affairs and friendships she enjoyed with men: the composer Chopin  the
painter Delacroix  the novelist Balzac.   But this moving biographical portrait  written by
award-winner Séverine Vidal and illustrated by Kim Consigny  restores her to the center stage
she always commanded in her lifetime. Not just as the daring  scandalously cross-dressing 
bisexual  cigarette-smoking divorcée novelist  but as the brilliant chronicler of her changing
time—and therefore of ours.
