description: Nathalie Sarraute is one of the most prominent French writers of the twentieth century. This study explores the evolution of Sarraute's prose writings from intense concern with shaping the response of their readers, to the more recent withdrawal of the authorial voice into self-sufficient internal dialogue. Emer O'Beirne considers the growing disillusionment with the reader reflected in Sarraute's work.
