Double Oblivion of the Ourang-Outang - Cixous, Helene (Centre de Recherches en Etudes Feminines at Paris VIII University, France)

Cixous is generally regarded as one of the leading, if not the leading French feminist author writing today. This book tells the story of how the author re-discovers a box from the past, containing a book manuscript from over fifty years ago. This leads to reflections on literary creativity, memory, identity and dreams.
