Summary
After decades of working in relative obscurity, author and memoirist Violette Leduc exploded onto the French literary scene in 1964 with the publication of her taboo-breaking memoir The Bastard. Engaging frankly with her experience as an illegitimate child, homosexuality, and abortion, Leduc challenged the prevailing censorship of mid-century France and became a controversial icon of lesbian literature. Bringing together archival footage, interviews with friends and scholars, and the author's own writing, director Esther Hoffenberg crafts a portrait of Leduc's literary legacy and complex internal life.
