Understanding Diane Johnson is a biographical and
critical study of a quintessential American novelist
who has devoted forty-five years to writing about
French and American culture. Johnson, who was
nominated for the National Book Award three times
and the Pulitzer Prize twice, has been a regular con-
tributor to the JSfew York Review of Books since
the 1970s and is the author of more than a dozen
fiction and nonfiction volumes. Carolyn A. Durham
explores Johnson’s fiction and nonfiction works,
emphasizing that setting is key to the construction
of Johnson’s literary world, a theme displayed
throughout the evolution of her eleven novels.
Johnson is well known as a comic novelist who
addresses serious social problems, as a novelist of
manners who reinvents fictional form, and as an
American novelist who characteristically populates
her writing with foreigners and expatriate Ameri-
cans. Durham first outlines Johnson’s early novels-
including Fair Game, Roving Hands at Home, and
Burning---create a fictional and mythic California.
Johnson continued her ongoing exploration of
women’s lives and her experimentation with varied
forms of narrative technique and genre parody in
the detective novels TThe Shadow Knows and Frying
Row, both award-winning novels. Amoving on to
Johnson’s other works, Durham examines John-
son’s reinvention of the international novel of
manners---inherited from Henry James and Edith
Wharton----in her best-selling Franco-American
trilogy: Re Divorce, Re JVLariage, and R’Affaire.
Finally Durham explores the ideas of Muslim
fundamentalism and the condition of women
in Islamic society in her timely satires of the
dangers of inept foreign policy, the novels Persian
Nights and Piilii in Marrahech.
As the first book-length study of this distin-
guished American writer, Understanding Diane
Johnson surveys an extensive body of work and
draws critical attention to a well-published, widely
read author who was the winner of the California
Book Awards Gold IVledal for Fiction in 1997.
