The work of Helene Cixous comprises some of the most radical aesthetic non-conformism in contemporary literature and literary theory. In "Helene Cixous, Rootprints" she explores the subterranean crossings which uncover the most intimate roots: those of childhood and those of language. Published here in English for the first time, "Helene Cixous, Rootprints" traces Cixous's development as a writer and intellectual, and is an ideal introduction to her theory and her fiction. Unprecendented in its form and content this collection breaks new ground in the theory and practice of auto/biography. Cixous's creative reflections on the past simultaneously provide occasion for brilliant forays into the future. The text includes: an extended interview between Cixous and Calle-Gruber, exploring Cixous's creative and intellectual processes, a revealing collection of photographs taken from Cixous's family album, illuminating the connections between memory and diaspora.
