Anti-Memoirs
By Andre Malraux
“The extraordinary story of an extraordinary man”
“Andre Malraux is one of the most extraordinary men alive. After agitating for revolution in China and Annam in the 1920s, he commanded the Republican air force in the Spanish Civil War and joined the French Resistance in the Second World War. At times an archaeologist, an orator, a philosopher of art and a distinguished author (whose novel La Condition Humaine has entered European consciousness), he has crowned a glittering career with his years as Minister of Culture in the French Government.
But Anti-memoirs does more than recall a great man’s past. It is a complete breakthrough in the writing of autobiography, as experimental and daring in form as the drama of his own life. Malraux has rejected chronological narrative for a free form of reminiscence, fluid and flexible, which allows him to range at will along the axes of time and space, covering the dramatic and moving events of his life.”
