NOTE
The central passages of this essay were conceived as a response to the Swedish publisher Bromberg, who, after acquiring the rights to The Days of Abandonment and reading the translation, decided not to publish it, considering the behavior of Olga, the novel’s protagonist, toward her children morally reprehensible. The essay was later published, with some modifications, by Uitgeverij Wereldbibliotheek, of Amsterdam, for the 2004 Paris Book Fair, in the anthology Frankrijk, dat ben ik (Wereldbibliotheek; 2004), under the title “Het gewicht van de taal” (“The Weight of Language”). It also appeared in la Repubblica of June 28, 2005.
