Review

Excerpts

'I shall speak about women's writing: about what it will do....as there are no grounds for establishing a discourse, but rather an arid millennial ground to break, what I say has at least two sides and two aims: to break up, to destroy; and to foresee the unforeseeable, to project' (309).

'What strikes me is the infinite richness of their individual constitutions: you can't talk about a female sexuality, uniform, homogeneous, classifiable into codes-- any more than you can talk about one unconscious resembling another' (309).
