內容簡介

��n 1968-69 I wanted to die, that is to say, stop living, being killed, but it was blocked on all sides,��wrote H矇l癡ne Cixous, esteemed French feminist, playwright, philosopher, literary critic and novelist.Instead of suicide, she began to dream of writing a tomb for herself. This tomb became a work that is a testament to Cixous��life and spirit and a secret book, the first book she ever authored. Originally written in 1970, Tombe is a Homerian recasting of Shakespeare�� Venus and Adonis in the thickets of Central Park, a book Cixous provocatively calls the ��ll-powerful-other of all my books, it sparks them off, makes them run, it is their Messiah.��/DIV>
�
Masterfully translated by Laurent Milesi, Tombe preserves the sonic complexities and intricate wordplay at the core of Cixous��writing, and reveals the struggles, ideas, and intents at the center of her work. With a new prologue by the author, this is a necessary document in the development of Cixous��aesthetic as a writer and theorist, and will be eagerly welcomed by readers as a crucial building block in the foundation of her later work.

Praise for H矇l癡ne Cixous
�
��ixous, important as she is as a feminist theorist and activist, is equally important as an accurate emotional sounding board for women everywhere. As such, her articulation of powerful, if delicate, perceptions in lucid prose/poetry compels the attention of European and American readers. . . . The power of her prose is philosophically sound."��i>Choice
