So Close - Cixous, Helene (Centre de Recherches en Etudes Feminines at Paris VIII University, France)

In So Close , the internationally renowned writer Helene Cixous recounts a return to her native Algeria after a more than thirty-year absence. Before she can decide to go, she must sift through large parts of her past in a land where she never felt at home and, from a young age, knew she must leave.
