What is it about?

Under cover of a love story, Sollers’s 2011 Trésor d’amour is actually a highly personal essay about Stendhal, its plot merely a thin pretext to quote extensively from Stendhal’s writings and to discuss his life and his love affairs. Sollers’s autobiographical protagonist "channels" Stendhal throughout, expanding the horizon of Stendhal’s continuing presence and surreptitiously placing Stendhal before a twenty-first century readership, showing us a Stendhal for our time.
