Intertextual Weaving in the Work of Linda Le: Imagining the Ideal
Reader uncovers the primary textual relationship that Linda Le
(1963- ), the most prolific Francophone author of the Vietnamese
diaspora, fosters with a literary precursor of Austrian descent:
the feminist writer-in-exile, Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973). This
study offers an overdue exploration of the notably European roots
of Le's writerly formation. It traces an unexamined feminist import
in her work to a sixteen-year inter- and intra-textual engagement
with Bachmann and positions the latter as an imagined ideal reader
of Le's oeuvre. Intertextual analyses of Bachmann's post-war novel,
Malina, with Le's literary essays, early fiction, and trilogy,
reveal that to overcome the challenges of writing in exile Le
adopts an alternative literary fore-bear of the European tradition.
