What are the reasons and the motivations that push Violette Leduc to write? In 1965, she answers: “We write for somebody that we love”. More than the pleasure of the text intended for somebody, she wishes to seduce through her writing. This mecanism of seduction is the driving force of the leducian creation. It is a precise model in which the addressee should appreciate her style and at the same time remain sexually and sentimentally unattainable. As soon as Leduc knows that she is heading for a fall, she sets up a mentorship, in which she is the apprentice, and provokes the drama of unrequitted love. She turns her affective and/or sexual deception into her literary material to supply her work, especially L’Affamée and Ravages. In my paper, I focus on the débuts of Violette Leduc, by studying her relationships with Maurice Sachs, Simone de Beauvoir, Nathalie Sarraute and Jacques Lemarchand.
