Abstract

Irène Némirovsky’s reception is exceptional, because she has gone from anonymity to fame twice : in 1929, the publication of David Golder by Grasset put this young unknown woman from the East into the limelight ; in 2004, the publication of Suite française by Denoël made the world rediscover the writer who had been forgotten after her deportation to Auschwitz. At these two turning points in her reception, her age is perceived by critics as an essential aspect. The article proposes to analyze the reasons for this, in relation to the literary context of these two times.

La réception d’Irène Némirovsky est exceptionnelle, car elle est passée par deux fois de l’anonymat à la célébrité : en 1929, la publication de David Golder chez Grasset lance cette jeune inconnue venant de l’est sous le feu des projecteurs ; en 2004, celle de Suite française chez Denoël fait redécouvrir au monde entier l’écrivaine oubliée après sa déportation à Auschwitz. À ces deux moments charnières de sa réception, son âge est perçu par la critique comme un aspect incontournable. L’article se propose d’en analyser les raisons, mises en regard de l’espace littéraire de ces deux époques.
