Fiction
A polyphonic exploration of desire.
Renée Vivien (1877-1909), a British poet who wrote in French, was the first author after Sappho to openly celebrate her lesbianism. Using a collage technique, The Passion According to Renée Vivien recreates the many discordant voices of characters fascinated by the writer: lovers, a lady’s maid, scholars, and a documentary filmmaker in the present. This allows Marçal to construct a multi-faceted exploration of the unpredictable paths of desire.
