Je ne suis pas comme vous. C’est par cette phrase qu’Albert, dix ans, découvre que sa mère est juive. Dans une Algérie en pleine guerre d’indépendance, rongée par l’antisémitisme, l’enfant tente de comprendre le sens de cet aveu, mais n’en saisira la portée que longtemps après, une fois devenu grand. Il découvrira que Les milles exils de Victorine se cachent dans l’histoire éperdue de ses ancêtres, des Juifs, des Chrétiens, des Espagnols, des Prussiens. Les raisons de leurs errances diffèrent, mais l’exil reste le même, dans sa grandeur et sa brutalité. Porté par une voix singulière, ce roman transgénérationnel embarque le lecteur dans une folle épopée à travers l’histoire des hommes et l’attachement à la terre qu’on leur arrache.

La Vendée, 1882. Victorine passe l'été de ses seize ans en bord de mer et y rencontre Antoine, qui rêve des colonies et dont la beauté la trouble. Mais deux ans plus tard, c'est Armand qui l'épouse, car elle est enceinte de leur premier enfant. Elle insiste après la naissance du deuxième pour reprendre son travail d'institutrice. Sa vie semble toute tracée et les jours glissent sur elle ; elle s'attache à remplir son devoir, mais se sent à l'étroit. Un troisième enfant naîtra, mais des années plus tard, en 1901, à son retour d'Indochine... 1898. Victorine a presque trente-deux ans et est abordée un dimanche par Antoine, de passage en Vendée. Cela fait seize ans qu'elle ne l'a pas vu et elle feint de ne pas le reconnaître. Mais dans les jours qui suivent, il revient vers elle, la presse, la veut. Elle tombe éperdument amoureuse de lui et ils cèdent à une passion réciproque. Lui est en partance pour l'Indochine. Un poste l'attend aux Douanes, et il compte ensuite faire fortune. Elle le suit et abandonne son mari et ses deux enfants, sans laisser de mot, sans se retourner. La découverte de l'Asie la bouleverse : Saigon, son quartier chinois, l'arrière-pays, les senteurs, les colons, le bouddhisme, l'opium... L'opium qu'Antoine se met à fumer de plus en plus, miné par des revers de fortune. Mais surtout, par le constat de l'étiolement de son couple, du deuil jamais fait par Victorine de sa vie passée, de son tiraillement entre ici et là-bas. Un an et demi plus tard, elle revient en Vendée, dans un parfum de scandale, encore amoureuse d'Antoine. Catherine Texier nous raconte dans un roman d'une grande finesse et à l'exotisme documenté la vie de son arrière-grand-mère et le secret de famille qui l'a entourée.

Whereas previous eras had celebrated beauty as the central aim of art, the modernist avant-garde were deeply suspicious of beauty and its perennial symbols, woman and ornament, preferring instead the thrill and alienation of the sublime. They rejected harmony, empathy, and femininity in a denial still reverberating through art and social relations today. Exploring this casting of Venus, with all her charms, into exile, Wendy Steiner's brilliant, ambitious, and provocative analysis explores the twentieth century's troubled relationship with beauty. Tracing this strange and damaging history, starting from Kant's aesthetics and Mary Shelley's horrified response in Frankenstein, Steiner untangles the complex attitudes of modernists toward both beauty and the female subject in art. She argues that the avant-garde set out to replace the impurity of woman and ornament with form -- the new arch-symbol of artistic beauty. However, in the process of controlling desire and pleasure in this way, artists admitted the exotic fetish objects of "primitive" cultures -- someone else's power and allure that surely would not overmaster the sophisticated modernist. A century of pornography, shock, and alienation followed, and this rejection of feminine and bourgeois values -- domesticity, intimacy, charm -- kept the female subject an impossible and remote symbol. Ironically, as Steiner reveals, the feminist hostility to the "beauty myth" had a parallel result, leaving Western society alienated from desire and pleasure on all sides. In the course of this elegantly constructed and accessibly written argument, Steiner explores the cultural history of the century just ended, from Dada to Futurism, T. S. Eliot's Wasteland and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon to Pumping Iron II: The Women and Deep Throat, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Outsider Art, Naomi Wolf and Cindy Sherman, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo, ranging across art and architecture, poetry and the novel, feminist writing and pornography. Only in recent years, Steiner demonstrates, has our culture begun to see a way out of this damaging impasse, revising the reputations of neglected artists such as Pierre Bonnard, and celebrating pleasure and charm in the arts of the present. By disentangling beauty from a misogynistic view of femininity -- as passive, narcissistic, sentimental, inefficacious -- Western culture now seems ready to return to the female subject and ornament in art, and to accept male beauty as a possibility to explore and celebrate as well. Steiner finds hints of these developments in the work of figures as varied as the painter Marlene Dumas, the novelist Penelope Fitzgerald, and the choreographer Mark Morris as she leads us to a rediscovery and a reclamation of beauty in the Western world. From one of our most thoughtful and ambitious cultural critics, this important and thought-provoking work not only provides us with a searching analysis of where we have been in the last century but reveals the promise of where we might be going in the coming one.
