Irène Némirovsky

" 'Each of us has his weaknesses. Human nature is incomprehensible,' muses the mysterious Léon M., narrator of Irène Némirovsky's novel, The Courilof Affair. 'One cannot even say with certainty whether a man is good or evil, stupid or intelligent. There does not exist a good man who has not at some time in his life committed a cruel act, nor an evil man who has not done good....' The complicated, often murky ironies of human interaction are the stuff of Némirovsky's fictions: no matter what her subject--and her range was considerable--her work is unified in its unsparing examination of the desires and feelings that lie behind the most apparently clear-cut scenarios." —Claire Messud
