Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Focuses on the relationship between Cixous and her mother, gradually building a picture of the painful ambivalence that children experience as they witness their parents' decline. The text forms a patchwork quilt of anecdotes that weave together domesticity and philosophy." Times Literary Supplement "Love and death battle subtly and ceaselessly in this tenderly dramatic, funny, domestic book. Told by a daughter doing all she can not to anticipate the death of her much-loved mother, fiction joins forces with flowers and animals, philosophy and the act of writing itself to affirm life in the teeth of loss." Sarah Wood, University of Kent "Beverly Bie Brahic's beautifully-crafted translation succeeds in capturing the distinctive music and haunting tonality of the original along with its rich web of meaning - this is a wonderful addition to the growing body of works by Cixous available in English" Mairead Hanrahan, University College London

Reseña del editor

In this new work Hélène Cixous continues to explore and expand the boundaries of narrative, so as to render every action, fear and thought palpable to the reader. A compelling work of autobiographical fiction, Hélène Cixous's Hemlock weaves tragedy and comedy, narrative and meditation in its exploration of various human attachments
