Reviews
Coastlines:
"Four authors—Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Eluard, Maurice Blanchot, and Louis-Ferdinand Celine—whose works confront and respond to the purge of collaborationist intellectuals in postwar France are the subjects of this volume. . . . To understand their views on the trials, it is useful to read their texts as allegories of the purge. . . . The book won the Modern Language Association of America's 2000 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for the best book in French and Francophone Literary Studies."

South Central Review:
"[Watts's] arguments are original, he takes risks, and the stakes are significant."
