Anyway, I'm on quite a Colette obsession right now. I've been reading a lot of her work, and now I'm knee deep in a biography of her written by Judith Thurman. Has anyone else read it? It really makes for a great story in and of itself.
I looked online, and the village she was born in doesn't look like it's changed much at all in the past 100 years!

Are Cheri and The Last of Cheri difficult reads? (I'm supposed to finish a novel in three weeks, and I don't have a whole lot of free time)

Neither is very long (part of why they're usually published in one volume). Unless it fails to appeal to you I can't imagine not being able to read at least the first one in that time.

have been reading break of day, took a break & read the intro to it, by judith thurman..def an interesting life colette led:
Colette's erotic legend now became an embarrassment, though not so great an embarrassment as the affair that she had been conducting with Henry's son by his first marriage. Bertrand de Jouvenel was a bookish virgin of sixteen when his stepmother "made him a man" at her beach house among the dunes of Brittany.
