Hyperdream by Cixous
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.
"The act of writing, Cixous claimed, 'is linked to the experience of disappearance, to the feeling of having lost the key to the world'Hyperdream offers a world full of such absence ... It hovers, dreamily between novel and memoir."

Times Literary Supplement
"Moving, complex and lyrical, it is a crucial work."
The Herald
"Hélène Cixous is today the greatest writer in what I shall call, if I may, my language, French. And I weigh my words in saying this. For a very great writer must be a poet-thinker, very much a poet and a very thinking poet."
Jacques Derrida
