Unprecedented in its form and content, Helene Cixious, Rootprints breaks new ground in the theory and practice of autobiography. Cixous' creative reflections on the past simultaneously provide occasion for brilliant forays into the future.
Helene Cixous, Rootprints includes an extended interview between Cixous and Calle-Grubar,exploring Cixous' creative and intellectual processes; and a revealing collection of photographs taken from Cixous' family album, illuminating the connections between memory and diaspora. Also included is a stunning preface by Jacques Derrida.
