Helene Cixous is one of France's leading contemporary
writers.
This new book is a work of fiction about the most implacable of
human certainties - death.
It explores death, mourning and loss by means of a poetic
fiction: imagining a magic telephone through which one can open up
a lifeline to departed loved ones.
Cixous is credited with the invention of 'ecriture feminine', a distinctive kind of feminine writing, and her books are widely read in the English-speaking world, both among general readers and students of feminism and literature.
