- Description
- The focus in this book is on 'the literary fantastic' and how it does manifests itself in the texts of French and francophone women writers publishing at the close of the twentieth and start of the twenty-first century. What do we mean today when we talk of 'the real' and 'realism'? This book sets out to refocus through a non-realist lens on the works of high-profile authors (Darrieussecq, Nothomb, Germain, Cixous and NDiaye) and some of their less highly publicised contemporaries. It analyses and mobilises a wide range of both gendered and non-gendered practices and theories of 'the contemporary fantastic' whilst critically interrogating both of the latter terms and their inter-relation.
