La Vagabonde (1910) is the first novel that Colette (1873–1954) wrote in her own name after her divorce from Willy.¹ The novel is a milestone in Colette’s oeuvre because it marks her first attempt to stand in her own right and on her own terms. Here, for the first time, we see her as Colette the artist-writer, and not as a mere helpmeet to Willy. The plot of La Vagabonde corresponds nicely with the details of Colette’s actual biography. The novel focuses on a music-hall dancer and a writer named Renée who has recently divorced her adulterous husband, Adolphe Taillandy. Having rid herself of this serial cheater, Renée is free to embark on a journey of self-discovery. As we shall see, it is a trek fraught with anxieties, solitude and ambivalences.

重读流浪者：看和移动单身女人的方式

《流浪者》（1910）是科莱特（1873-1954）在与威利离婚后以自己的名字创作的第一部小说。¹这部小说是科莱特作品中的一个里程碑，因为它标志着她第一次尝试以自己的权利和条件站立。在这里，我们第一次看到她是艺术家兼作家科莱特，而不仅仅是对威利的帮助。La Vagabonde的情节与 Colette 的实际传记的细节非常吻合。这部小说的重点是一位音乐厅舞者和一位名叫 Renée 的作家，她最近与通奸的丈夫 Adolphe Taillandy 离婚了。摆脱了这个连环骗子后，蕾妮可以自由地踏上自我发现之旅。正如我们将要看到的，这是一次充满焦虑、孤独和矛盾心理的跋涉。
