A major new book by one of the leading feminist writers in France today.
Cixous explores the themes of love, memory, language and loss.
This is a work of literary fiction and at the same time a philosophical work: like Sartre, Camus and other great writers, Cixous blends together fiction and philosophy.
Cixous created a distinctive form of feminist writing called ‘ecriture feminine’ and she is its leading exponent. This new book is a major contribution to this genre.
Cixous is very well known in the English-speaking world and her work is widely read, especially in the US.
