 The Austin Chronicle: Books: Book Reviews: The Politics of Prose
Martin du Gard followed the modernist party line as articulated by Flaubert, but while Flaubert's notion of the "impersonality of the artist" functioned, self-servingly, to highlight Gustave with his dictionaries and encyclopedia on the sofa, struggling for just the right word to describe Charles Bovary's hat, Martin du Gard simply wrote.
Du Gard is slyly exposing something about Maumort, this soldier who fights in a colonial war in Africa and thinks it is noble, who thinks of himself as liberal because he has sex with women of color.
Martin du Gard's novel is colored, for us, by the sense that he is writing at the end of a psychological tradition.
