Helene Cixous, Rootprints - Memory and Life Writing (Paperback)

Hélène Cixous is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant and innovative contemporary thinkers. Published here in English for the first time Hélène Cixous, Rootprints is an ideal introduction to Cixous's theory and her fiction, tracing her development as a writer and intellectual whose remarkable persipicacity and electrifying poetic force are known world-wide.
Unprecedented in its form and content this collection breaks new ground in the theory and practice of auto/biography, as Cixous's own creative reflections on the past provide occasion for scintillating forays into the future.
The text includes:
* an extended interview with Cixous and Calle-Gruber, exploring Cixous's creative and intellectual processes
* a remarkable collection of photographs taken from Cixous's family album set against a poetic reflection by the author
* selections from Cixous's private notebooks
* contribution by Jacques Derrida
* original 'think-pieces' by Calle-Gruber.
