"Coming to Writing" and Other Essays by Deborah Jenson

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.
