FROM THE AUTHOR

CIXOUS ON HER LITERARY AND EMOTIONAL EVOLUTION

I think that what is inscribed in what I have written is a certain story, a certain history, which is mine and, I believe, that of every woman. I think it is quite exemplary. Besides, it is truly a history insofar as it has a development in time, because I absolutely do believe in experience. I think we traverse in time moments which, little by little, allow us to advance and to learn to live. One does not know how to live; one learns to live.
