Description

Where the Grass no longer Grows is based on events at the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane in June 1944 when the SS massacred 642 men, women and children. This novel, the only fictional recreation of the massacre, follows the fate of a number of characters both inside and outside the village as they become aware of and respond to the unfolding horror. AUTHOR: Georges Magnane (1907 - 1985) was the pen-name of René Catinaud, born into a farming family in the Limousin, central France. He went from there to the Ecôle Normale d'instituteurs in Paris before completing his studies in Oxford. As well as being a teacher and novelist, Magnane was a journalist (he covered the 1948 London Olympics for Sartre's L'humanité) a pioneer of the sociology of sport in France, a translator (notably of Updike, Nabokov and Capote), and a scriptwriter for theatre and film.
