Simone Weil traces this seminal thinker's transformation from privileged Parisian student to union organizer, activist, and philosopher, as well as the complex evolution of her ideas on Christianity, politics, and sexuality. In this thoughtful and compelling biography, du Plessix Gray illuminates an enigmatic figure and early feminist whose passion and pathos will fascinate a wide audience of listeners.
What the critics say
"Du Plessix Gray does an exemplary job of bringing this complex, intelligent yet tortured woman to life." (Library Journal)
"A virtuosic achievement, possibly unique among popular treatments of Weil: a short, measured biography of a short but startlingly unmeasured and unmeasuring life." (Publishers Weekly)
"Gray's portrait is fascinating, and Donada Peters's reading is, as usual, perfection." (AudioFile)
