A slim but powerful work of metafiction by a Nobel Prize-winning French writer and intellectual.
Andr Gide is the inventor of modern metafiction and of autofiction, and his short novel Marshlands shows him handling both forms with a deft and delightful touch.
The protagonist of Marshlands is a writer who is writing a book called Marshlands , which is about a reclusive character who lives all alone in a stone tower.
