I had no idea Colette later confided to her third husband that Willy, her first husband, raped her. I can't say I'm surprised though.

Learning more about Colette's father, and her brother Léo, shows me where exactly her fascination with blasé, feminine, peter pan male figures came from. I wonder if Léo in particular was inspiration for Alain in La chatte?

I wonder why Colette never addressed the violence of her mother Sido's first marriage. Instead, in her fairytale-like accounts, she addresses this relationship like it's Beauty and the Beast.
