Here that distance is completely eradicated.” It is perhaps this “miracle”—the seeming collapse of fiction and fact—that has made \u003ci\u003eWanda\u003c\/i\u003e (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 \u003ci\u003eWanda\u003c\/i\u003e launched an obsessive quest across continents, into archives, and through mining towns of Pennsylvania, all to get closer to the film and its maker. \u003ci\u003eSuite for Barbara Loden\u003c\/i\u003e is the magnificent result.","brand":"Nathalie Léger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48675366961364,"sku":"9780997366600","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6b74fe80-d3b6-4d05-bc54-85f6d8413288.jpg?v=1789515982","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780997366600","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
