Two French schoolgirls discover obsessive pleasures in repressed secrets in this "masterpiece on the tyranny of love" (Independent, UK).   "Violette Leduc was Simone de Beauvoir's protege, an erotic writer to match Jean Genet and a feminist tour de force" (Rafia Zakaria, The Guardian). With this startling new translation of Leduc's hidden classic, the groundbreaking Thérèse and Isabelle proves an authentic and liberating exploration of queer sensibilities, which still stands as "one of the greatest examples of French-Language erotic literature" ever written (Times Literary Supplement).   Censored for half a century for its vivid depiction of budding female sexuality, this is the "dark and luminous" (Nicole Borssard) novel of two young women in the consuming and at times frightening throes of first love. Navigating their schoolgirl relationship becomes a rapturous secret, as they sneak away from repressive boundaries to go beyond the limits of friendship with "all the raw urgency of female adolescent sexuality: its energy and intensity, the push-pull of excitement, its dangers and glories" (Kate Millett, award-winning author of Sexual Politics and Mother Millett).   Filmed in 1968 by Radley Metzger, starring Essy Persson and Anna Gaël, Thérèse and Isabelle is finally available as it was intended to be read. "I have waited a very long time to slip back into the unexpurgated, delicious darkness with these iconic lesbian lovers" (Amber Dawn, Lambda Literary Award-winning author Sodom Road Exit).… (mais)

Anfang der 1950er Jahre in einem katholischen Mädcheninternat in Frankreich. Isabelle ist die beste Schülerin, die alle bewundern, die neue Schülerin Thérèse ist die Tochter einer alleinerziehenden Mutter, die zum Zielobjekt ihres Hasses wird. Doch die anfängliche Abneigung der beiden gegeneinander wandelt sich und wird zu einer leidenschaftlichen Liebesbeziehung. Nachts im Schlafsaal, wenn alle anderen in ihre Träume versunken sind, geben sie sich ihren Gefühlen hin und entdecken die Liebe, die nicht sein darf. Nicht bei Minderjährigen, nicht bei zwei jungen Frauen und gleich dreimal nicht im Internat. Immerzu drohen sie aufzufliegen und Thérèses intensive Abhängigkeit macht es bald unmöglich für sie, einen Schultag zu durchzustehen.

Auch wenn Violette Leducs Schilderung der unerlaubten Liebe voller versierter Sprachbilder ist und die Emotionen der Mädchen, das überwältigende Gefühl der ersten echten Liebe, die erwidert wird, minutiös einfängt, sind es doch mehr noch die Umstände der Entstehung und die Geschichte der Novelle, die daran faszinieren.

Die Autorin verfasste „Thérèse und Isabelle“ als ersten von drei Teilen ihres Romans „Ravages“, der drei autobiografisch geprägte Liebesepisoden schildert. Von Simone de Beauvoir unterstützt, die das Potenzial der Geschichte und Leducs erkannte, wurde er verschiedenen Verlegern vorgelegt, die jedoch 1954 alle Angst vor der Zensur hatten und wussten, dass die Zeit für eine so offene Schilderung gleichgeschlechtlicher Liebe noch nicht gekommen war. Es erschienen erst viel später redigierte Fassungen, bis 2000 Gallimard erstmals die ursprüngliche Version als Einzelband herausgab.

Violette Leduc wollte keinen Skandal provozieren, sie schildert einfach nur das Erleben großer Leidenschaft in völlig unschuldiger Form. Es ist für Leser von heute kaum mehr nachvollziehbar, was an dem Text anstößig sein soll, ja, er ist explizit, aber in einer poetischen Weise und nicht plump wie das, was einem tagtäglich online entgegenspringt. Auch das die Protagonistinnen zwei junge Frauen sind, die ihre Zuneigung ausleben, sollte hoffentlich niemanden mehr schockieren. Der Roman ist nicht pornografisch oder voyeuristisch, sondern wirkt geradezu naiv in Thérèses Faszination von Isabelle. Es ist schlicht das Zeugnis einer verbotenen Liebe, die sich dennoch ihren Weg bahnt. ( )

Rédigé en 1954, paru sous forme censurée en 1966, puis en version intégrale en 2000 seulement, le roman court de Violette Leduc évoque l'éveil à la sexualité de deux adolescentes dans un pensionnat. Tandis que l'éditeur Gallimard décrit une "langue nue et violente", j'y ai pour ma part trouvé une tentative de poésie érotique indigente au point de friser régulièrement le ridicule. Exemple : "Nous avons oublié notre doigt dans l'ancien monde, nous avons été béantes de lumière, nous avons eu une irruption de félicité". Ce type de phrases peuple à l'envi les quelque 140 pages du livre qui se dissolvent dans une caricature métaphorique.
L'écriture, faite de phrases courtes, de dialogues creux et faux, est répétitive, parfois carrément laborieuse : "Son bras au-dessous du mien en se soulevant souleva le mien. Isabelle s'étudiait. Elle remit ma main, elle commença le mouvement, avec sa main sur la mienne, elle me laissa à mon mouvement".
Comment faire ressentir les vibrations et le vertige de la découverte du sexe à l'adolescence avec des mots et un style pareils ?
Les scènes, sous lumière crue et artificielle, se succèdent en étant plantées abruptement comme dans un mauvais porno.
J'aurais aimé pouvoir apprécier l'audace de ce texte (heureusement court car terriblement ennuyeux). En effet, combien de femmes (a fortiori pendant les années 1950) écrivaient de la littérature érotique (a fortiori sur des amours saphiques) vouée à une édition chez Gallimard ? Le livre est un OVNI littéraire mais il me paraît raté. Et plus cucu que cul, si je peux me permettre ce commentaire oiseux. ( )

Quand on aime on est toujours sur le quai d'une gare.

This boarding-school romance is actually a censored chapter from Leduc's 1955 novel Ravages, eventually published as a standalone novella eleven years later. Its reputation has had trouble recovering from the unapologetic soft-porn film Radley Metzger made out of it in 1968, but it deserves to be read as more than just erotica. Although the story is told in the first person by Thérèse, this isn't a simple teenage love story like Les mauvais anges, but a concentrated and very grown-up meditation on the complicated changes love and physical desire for another person - and the satisfying of that desire - bring about in our awareness of ourself and of the other person. Plus quite a lot of explicit talk about sex.

Adolescent same-sex romances, by all the rules of narrative that were current at the time, are supposed to end badly, but this one is unexpectedly spared the depressingly inevitable tragic conclusion as a result of the way it has been cut out of a longer work - Leduc stops abruptly in the middle of a steamy sex-scene and has her narrator tie up the story, unconvincingly, in two short sentences, leaving us free to go on our way imagining whatever we please.

she has this way of capturing the overwhelming intensity of first love and the passion and doubt and uncertainty (even paranoia?) that often comes with it, especially (i'd imagine) for teenagers. couple those emotions with having to hide that love and connection, and all the thoughts that must go through a young girl's mind when her lover is pretending not to care about her, and it makes for a realistic, if confusing jumble of emotions and feelings and even actions. the writing borders on manic, is unenjoyable (for me), and is difficult to read and sometimes even to follow, but i do think it captures what those girls must have been going through. plus, it not just discusses, but shows women's sexuality in a time that that was shrouded in darkness. and lesbian sexuality at that. so it's a brave and important piece of writing, even as i didn't particularly like its style.

this edition has sections after the novella that discuss the original censorship of the text as well as leduc's life. i found each of those really interesting and helpful in seeing the story in a different light. it was, for me, easily the best and most interesting part of the book, and managed to make me appreciate the rest more.
