{"product_id":"the-book-of-promethea-9780803263437","title":"The Book of Promethea","description":"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.\" Betsy Wing is a freelance translator and fiction writer. She translated Catherine Clément and Hélène Cixous's La Jeune Née (The Newly Born Woman) into English in 1986. A collection of her fiction, Look Out for Hydrophobia, was published in 1990. Hélène Cixous is also author of the play The Terrible but Unfinished Story of Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia, translated by Juliet Flower MacCannell, Judith Pike, and Lollie Groth (Nebraska 1994).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-62800\"\u003eHelene Cixous\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 5.09w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803263437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803263430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC010000\"\u003eFeminism \u0026amp; Feminist Theory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHélène Cixous is also author of the play \u003ci\u003eThe Terrible but Unfinished Story of Norodom Sihanouk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKing of Cambodia\u003c\/i\u003e, translated by Juliet Flower MacCannell, Judith Pike, and Lollie Groth (Nebraska 1994).
