René Girard (1923–2015) was one of the leading thinkers of our era—a provocative sage who bypassed prevailing orthodoxies to offer a bold, sweeping vision of human nature, human history, and human destiny. His oeuvre, offering a “mimetic theory” of cultural origins and human behavior, inspired such writers as Milan Kundera and J. M. Coetzee, and earned him a place among the forty “immortals” of the Académie Française. Too often, however, his work is considered only within various academic specializations. This first-ever biographical study takes a wider view. Cynthia L. Haven traces the evolution of Girard’s thought in parallel with his life and times. She recounts his formative years in France and his arrival in a country torn by racial division, and reveals his insights into the collective delusions of our technological world and the changing nature of warfare. Drawing on interviews with Girard and his colleagues,Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard provides an essential introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most controversial and original minds.

Review
InEvolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard, Cynthia Haven--a literary journalist and the author of books on Joseph Brodsky and Czesław Miłosz--offers a lively, well-documented, highly readable account of how Girard built up his grand "mimetic theory," as it's sometimes called, over time. Her decision to introduce his thought to a broader public by way of an intellectual biography was a good one. --New York Review of Books.Haven's ability to interweave Girard's life with his publications keeps her narrative flowing at a lively place. ... Her carefully researched biography is a fitting tribute to her late friend and one that will enlighten both specialists and non-specialists alike.
--Wall Street Journal
It is the author's closeness to the man once described as "the new Darwin of the human sciences" that brings this fascinating biography to life.... At a time when religious fundamentalism, violent extremism and societal division dominates the headlines, Haven's book is a call to revisit and reclaim one of the 20th century's most important thinkers.--San Francisco Chronicle
René Girard, who died in 2015 at 91, ventured into many disciplines. Cynthia Haven'sEvolution of Desire is an ingenious travelogue of his life and thought. The result is an an extraordinarily vivid portrait of a man admired not just for his intelligence and erudition, but also for his character, wisdom, and humor.
--Philadelphia Inquirer
Cynthia Haven's moving portrait inspires readers to look inward and scrutinize themselves, unsparingly yet forgivingly -- just as Girard would have wanted. --Los Angeles Review of BooksCynthia Haven's mind-altering biography of this towering figure in 20th-century thought brings so much new information, and so many interpretive insights, that it's hard to imagine any full-service public library, not to mention any academic collection, without a copy. The book is alive.
--Tablet Magazine
While the relationship between biographer and subject can be risky -producing hagiography at one extreme, disparagement at the other - Haven balances her frank admiration with critical commentary ... this is an ambitious and thought-provoking life portrait.--Stanford Magazine
In this intimate but philosophically searching book, the author's writing is marvelously clear. She expertly unpacks Girard's ideas, making them unusually accessible, even to readers with limited familiarity. A penetrating account of an important thinker - and as agile, profound,and affecting as its subject.
--Kirkus Reviews
Evolution of Desire is one of the best biographies I have ever read.--Books, Inq.
It is my humble opinion that, when the dust finally settles, René Girard will be considered one of the truly great thinkers of the twentieth century. Do I exaggerate? Read Cynthia Haven's beautifully written biography and be your own judge. Here is a book that gives us Girard in all his genius and his generosity. I can't recommend it enough.--Morgan Meis, contributor atThe New Yorker and 2013 Whiting Award winner
René Girard's provocative theories on violence, religion, desire, and scapegoating are intensely relevant to contemporary American society.Cynthia Haven offers an account of Girard's life and ideas that is as compelling as a good detective story. It should receive the widest possible readership.
--David Streitfeld, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer forThe New York Times
Evolution of Desirechronicles the personal history of one of the past century's seminal thinkers,illuminating the intellectual history that followed in his wake. Written with flair and wit, the book is intelligent and lucid, discerning and compelling.
--Daniel Medin, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and English, American University of Paris,faculty at the Center for Writers and Translators, Juror for the 2016 Man Booker International Prize
Haven'sEvolution of Desire: A Life of René Girardis exemplary in its sensitivity ... Haven ...writes with acuity and wit. Reading Girard's publications is indeed like climbing a rocky promontory, but only to find at the summit a road and a coach park. Those not yet ready for the climb on foot may take advantage of a stimulating drive to the top in Cynthia Haven's air-conditioned Californian limousine."

- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am currently reading this wonderful book. After I finish it, I will post my own review. Until then, I am happy to provide readers here of the comments I just received from this book’s very first reader (in manuscript form) whom the author thanks in her Postscript and Acknowledgements:
Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard by Cynthia Haven is a remarkable achievement even for an already accomplished author of skillful essays on major literary figures such as Czeslaw Milosz and Joseph Brodsky. This even though she had gotten to know Girard only in the last years of his life. In often sparkling prose Haven has been able to interweave the personal and the scholarly into an illuminating and I think unique biography. Of course, there will be many substantial studies to be published on Girard in a number of languages. There have to be. But I cannot imagine their authors not benefiting from familiarity with Haven’s full and beautiful portrait of the man. (Richly augmented with photographs covering nearly a century of life.)
—Paul Caringella
Now my own review (posted 5-06-18):
Few books in recent memory have given me as much pleasure as this intellectual biography of the literary theorist, René Girard. For those unfamiliar with the work of the great French thinker, this book will serve as a marvelous and captivating introduction. For those already acquainted with Girard’s works, much more will be gained. Haven’s biography draws heavily on Girard’s books, his published conversations with colleagues and friends, the secondary literature, and most importantly the author’s own conversations with Girard and those who knew him. Haven met with Girard regularly for extensive conversations over the last eight years of his life, developing a friendship that deeply informs her writing. She also interviewed fellow scholars and colleagues of Girard in Europe and America.
The book covers the course of Girard’s life from his origins in Avignon, his early formation and experiences during WWII, his emigration to America, his years at Indiana University, John Hopkins, SUNY Buffalo, and finally Stanford, where he died in late 2015. Though no bibliography of Girard’s numerous works is provided, there is a Chronology at the end of the book that identifies all of Girard’s books published in French and English, as well as in English and French translation, along with the major events in Girard’s life and career. Interweaved with the biographical story is a splendid elucidation of Girard’s life-long investigation of human nature and the origins of religion by way of his anthropological analyses of many of the great literary works of Western Civilization. The author fleshes out Girard’s key concepts of mimetic desire, scapegoating, violence, sacrifice, etc., seeking to root them where she can in Girard’s own personal experiences.
The book is filled with pleasurable nuggets: stories, anecdotes, and insights from Haven’s personal recollections and those of family, colleagues, and friends of Girard. One delightful example (from page 201) casts light on the peculiar relation between the competing truths of fact and fiction that every biographer and every historian (and indeed every literary theorist like Girard himself) must confront. Recounting a story she received from eyewitnesses, Haven writes, “In 2004, social and political philosopher Jean-Pierre Dupuy was attending a conference in Berlin when he was confronted at a café by a man who asked, ‘Why did you become a Girardian?’ He responded in a beat, ‘Because it’s cheaper than psychoanalysis.’” When she sought to confirm this story from the Dupuy himself, he said in effect, “It’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.”
Haven’s own reading of Girard’s life and thought is duly sensitive and often keen—some interpretations are unmistakable and some cautiously proposed but none gratuitous or unjustified. Her account is well-researched and reflects the labor of love that the writing of this book must have been for her, no doubt inspired by her love for the man himself (which, of course, as she quips in her dedication, was “not the triangular sort”). Both fans and critics of Girard, one of the truly great thinkers of the twentieth century, will benefit greatly from the story told by this gifted writer. None can ignore her authoritative account of the man and his work. Highly recommended! - Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI’ve long been a fan of fellow journalist Cynthia Haven’s “Book Haven” blog. Haven’s voice is a rare and enviable combination of intellectual guide and sharp-witted critic. I trust her to tell readers why a particular work is relevant and worthy of our time, and to send up a signal flare when something noteworthy has happened in the literary realm. I was thrilled, then, to learn that she was working on a biography of Rene Girard, a French author and Stanford professor whose profound influence on myriad disciplines is widely acknowledged but almost always discussed in scholarly works that feel inaccessible to many of us.
“Evolution of Desire: A Life of Rene Girard” is an elegant, clear-eyed biography of a man whose ideas have broad implications for understanding the moment in time in which we find ourselves. And possibly a path forward. It’s a terrific book – one I’ve been commending to friends and colleagues.
Boiled down no doubt too simplistically, Girard’s thoughts and writings are grounded in the concept of mimesis – that our desires are rooted in the envy of others – and that the resulting rivalry is how we tumble into the violence we seem incapable of evolving past. We are addicted to our scapegoats, he posited.
“He argued that human conflict was not caused by our differences, but rather by our sameness,” Haven wrote in November 2015, a few days after a terrorist bombing of Paris that his life’s work uncannily seemed to predict. “Individuals and societies offload blame and culpability onto an outsider, a scapegoat, whose elimination reconciles antagonists and restores unity.”
Haven was uniquely positioned to serve as a biographer of Girard. Her own work celebrates great beauty and provocative thought. She came to Girard’s story as a friend, spending time with him and his wife Martha at their home, absorbing stories about his youth in France, his early years as an academic in America and of the impact his experiences had on his scholarship. Her affection for her friend is apparent as she retraces the settings of his formative years, yet Haven is a skilled enough writer and an honest enough narrator to challenge and probe on the reader’s behalf.
“Girard claimed that memetic desire is not only the way we love, it’s the reason we fight,” she writes. “Two hands that reach toward the same object will ultimately clench into fists.” - Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a clear, insightful, and readable introduction to Girard's life and work. Fascinating details about his upbringing in France, his experience of the war as a student in Paris, his early years in the US in the midwest and the south, and his days as an up and coming French intellectual at Johns Hopkins in the 1960s. The chapter on the famous JHU conference that brought "deconstruction" to the US is a highlight of this book, as are the many illustrations of Girard's ideas about scapegoating and mimetic desire, including perceptive discussions of the aftermath of the German occupation of France, lynching in the American South, and the French Revolution, among other apt illustrations of Girard's ideas. I would recommend this book to anyone who has enjoyed Girard's masterfully written but often dense works of theory, and is looking to gain a better understanding of the man, and also for those who are new to Girard and want to get a sense of his thought and how it emerged from personal experiences of war, expatriation, and even religious conversion sparked by literary interpretation. A good read and an important step toward making this thinker's work more widely known among the general public.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent overview of Girard's life and work
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseReading Rene Girard can be intimidating. His works are complex, and he was prolific. Fortunately, in this new biography of Girard, Haven proves a reliable, critically sympathetic, and widely learned guide to his life and thought. While this is not an exposition of his works, Haven provides the framework of his thought, how it evolved, and how it changed, and as such provides an excellent grounding for taking on some of Girard's most compelling works, especially his late work, Battling to the End (Achever Clausewitz). There are also insightful portraits of Girard and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins, Buffalo, and Stanford and some of the seminal moments in the development of post-war critical movements, especially the "French invasion" and the storming of the structuralist ramparts by the likes of Derrida and Lacan. Haven has a sharp eye for irony and humor in these passages. She connects the man and his thinking with warmth and affection without losing sight that Girard's theories were far from universally acclaimed, and some of the reasons why this was so. Girard's thought will endure long after the ephemeral approaches of Foucault and Derrida have vanished, and as one of the seminal thinkers of the 20th century (along with Eric Voegelin, inter alia, another thinker who struggled for acceptance) it is worth reading this fine book, even if you think you know Girard's thought already - JINHEEReviewed in Italy on December 22, 2019
