This book provides a wide-ranging and up-to-date critical
introduction to the writings of Helene Cixous (1937-), focusing on
key motifs, such as dreams, the supernatural, literature,
psychoanalysis, creative writing, realism, sexual differences,
laughter, secrets, the 'Mother unconscious', drawing, painting,
life writing, telephones, non-human animals, telepathy and the 'art
of cutting'. There are close readings of Shakespeare, Bronte,
Shelley, Poe, Carroll, Freud, Woolf, Joyce, Beckett and Derrida,
for example, alongside in-depth explorations of her own writings,
from Inside (1969) and 'The Laugh of the Medusa' (1975) up to the
present. Royle's book will be useful to students and academics
coming to Cixous's work for the first time, but it will also appeal
to readers interested in contemporary literature, creative writing,
life writing, narrative theory, deconstruction, psychoanalysis,
trauma studies, feminism, queer theory, ecology, drawing and
painting. -- .
