Love Itself by Cixous
A major new book by one of the leading feminist writers in France today. Cixous explores the themes of love, memory, language and loss. This is a work of literary fiction and at the same time a philosophical work: like Sartre, Camus and other great writers, Cixous blends together fiction and philosophy.
"A rarefied examination of love, passion and the intermittences of the heart, beautifully translated by Peggy Kamuf"

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