Summary/Abstract: The present paper shows the way the female literary character transforms under the unyielding eye of the blackmailer narrator. In the interwar period, Lydia Manolovich, a muse of bourgeois society, becomes a grotesque caricature of a novel meant to create various speculations but also to bring to the readers attention scabrous details from the backstage of a apparent perfect world.
