基本説明
If a roman à clef conceals actual individuals behind fictional identities, then An Anatomy of Love, with its thinly veiled autobiographical allusions, definitely fits the label. However, neither one of its protagonists is ever named, which would then have us believe that the key or indeed keys to this gem of a novella might be found elsewhere. For instance, could its author's breadth of artistic references, from Ronsard to Cézanne and from Montaigne to Rothko, pave the way to an aesthetics of time far broader than a mere typology of passion? Possibly. Nonetheless, Rebourg-Roesler remains first and foremost a psychologist, and, as such, even the most poetically sensitive of her narrative introspection brutally cuts to the core of her readers' deepest vulnerabilities.
Elise Argo and Juliette Reeder have been studying French with Eric Turcat at Oklahoma State University for the past three years. Elise, a future emergency physician, is currently completing her degree in psychology, while patiently continuing to humor Eric's aristocratic obsession with cultural literacy, so as to also complete her French major. Juliette, our voice of technical precision and diplomatic caution, is graduating with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, and may now leverage her dual, Luxembourgian American citizenship to work on either side of the pond. As for Eric, he is still pursuing the long-term project of translating an ever growing selection of Giovanni Dotoli's work, and not just into English, but, heaven help us, into Spanish as well.
