French-Algerian writer Albertine Sarrazin's semi-autobiographical novel "Astragal" follows Anne, a teenage runaway, as she flees prison and navigates the Parisian underworld. Sarrazin wrote the book while serving time, and died shortly after its publication from complications following kidney surgery at the age of 29. Her short life, marked by incarceration and escape, helped establish her as a cult figure in postwar French literature. "Astragal" ("L'Astragale") and her companion novel "La Cavale" were published simultaneously in France in 1965 and both became bestsellers. Translated from the French by Patsy Southgate. Sarrazin's work has since been embraced by later generations of feminist readers and writers as a symbol of female defiance and literary rebellion. Her work has been referenced in connection with Jean Genet and often taught alongside writers of marginalized identity and in discussions of carceral theory. "L'Astragale" was adapted twice for film: first in 1968, directed by Guy Casaril and produced by Pierre Braunberger, and again in 2015 in a version directed by Brigitte Sy and starring Leïla Bekhti as Anne.
