Synopsis
In writing Le Livre de Promethea Hélène Cixous set for herself the task of bridging the immeasurable distance between love and language. She describes a love between two women in its totality, experienced as both a physical presence and a sense of infinity. The result is a stunning example of Pecriture feminine that won kudos when published in France in 1983. Its translation into English by Betsy Wing will extend the influence of a writer already famous for her novels and contributions to feminist theory. In her introduction Betsy Wing notes the contemporary emphasis on "fictions of presence." Cixous, in The Book of Promethea , works to "repair the separation between fiction and presence, trying to chronicle a very-present love without destroying it in the writing.", In writing Le Livre de Promethea H l ne Cixous set for herself the task of bridging the immeasurable distance between love and language.
