This is the major autobiographical statement from Nobel laureate André Gide. In the events and musings recorded here we find the seeds of those themes that obsessed him throughout his career and imbued his classic novels The Immoralist and The Counterfeiters. Gide led a life of uncompromising self-scrutiny, and his literary works resembled moments of that life. With If It Die, Gide determined to relay without sentiment or embellishment the circumstances of his childhood and the birth of his philosophic wanderings, and in doing so to bring it all to light. Gide’s unapologetic account of his awakening homosexual desire and his portrait of Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglas as they indulged in debauchery in North Africa are thrilling in their frankness and alone make If It Die an essential companion to the work of a twentieth-century literary master.

Ok, I ran across some of the negative reviews here and had to say something, especially since the reviews and book description don't at all align with my experience of reading the book many years ago. The book is slow-moving for sure. What makes Gide's novels special for me are his explorations of characters who are ethically flawed, who show hypocrisy and self-deception. His narrators often see themselves as acting altruistically, but their actions and motives may be quite different. In this memoir, there is a tension present between Gide's Calvinist upbringing (at one point, he mentions studying the bible every day for an hour) and his temperament and (as he reaches his teenage years) his sexuality. He has to try to make sense of himself in a late nineteenth century world that (I assume) had no model to reconcile being gay with leading a moral life. His initial reaction is to reject all morality, but this doesn't work for him. Not to give the wrong impression though, much of it is about his childhood and how he malingered to keep out of school--I particularly love his description of fishing for trout.
