| Publisher Description: This collection presents six essays by one of France's most remarkable contemporary authors. A notoriously playful stylist, here H l ne Cixous explores how the problematics of the sexes--viewed as a paradigm for all difference, which is the organizing principle behind identity and meaning--manifest themselves, write themselves, in texts. These superb translations do full justice to Cixous's prose, to its songlike flow and allusive brilliance. |
