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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathalie Léger\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eSuite for Barbara Loden\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe White Dress\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as an editor and archivist.
