The second in Nathalie Léger's acclaimed genre-defying triptych of books about the struggles and obsessions of women artists. I believe there is a miracle in Wanda, wrote Marguerite Duras of the only film American actress Barbara Loden ever wrote and directed. Usually, there is a distance between representation and text, subject and action. Here that distance is completely eradicated. It is perhaps this miracle--the seeming collapse of fiction and fact--that has made Wanda (1970) a cult classic, and a fascination of artists from Isabelle Huppert to Rachel Kushner to Kate Zambreno. For acclaimed French writer Nathalie Léger, the mysteries of Wanda launched an obsessive quest across continents, into archives, and through mining towns of Pennsylvania, all to get closer to the film and its maker. Suite for Barbara Loden is the magnificent result.
