Synopsis

This study compares the substantial literary projects of Michel Leiris and Hubert Fichte, and examines how they overstep theoretical prescriptions in their explorations of the self. Throughout the book, the author contends that for Leiris and Fichte alike, life and writing become mutually defining over the protracted progressions of their self-scrutiny.

Review

"... the first to look in detail at these two authors together, Dr. Wilks succeeds in not only bringing new insights to the reading of Leiris and Fichte but in adding significantly to our understanding of the nature and uses of autobiography..." - Dr. Michael Sheringham, University of Oxford"
