Hélène Cixous

Love Itself

In the Letter Box

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Love′s memories, love recalling itself in letters lost and found over an interval of forty years: Cixous′s writer-narrator advances here far into a labyrinth of passions long ago delivered and yet still arriving through the mail, through letters and literature, in other words, the poetry of the post.

Rezensionen

"A rarefied examination of love, passion and the intermittences ofthe heart, beautifully translated by Peggy Kamuf."
Times Literary Supplement

"Hélène Cixous is today the greatest writer in what Ishall call, if I may, my language, French. And I weigh my words insaying this. For a very great writer must be a poet-thinker, verymuch a poet and a very thinking poet."
Jacques Derrida

"A profoundly intense, individual and brilliant piece ofwork."
David Marx Book Reviews
