FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig. Author Biography <div>Monique Wittig (1935-2003) was a French avant-garde writer and feminist theorist. Her early novel <u>L’Opoponax</u> won the prix Médicis. David Le Vay has translated numerous books, including Wittigs <u>The Lesbian Body.</u> <br></div> Review Quote "Wittig ( The Lesbian Body ) is a key figure in French feminism, perhaps the foremost theorist of a profoundly radical lesbianism. Half of the nine essays in this brief collection deal directly with the politics of gender, a battlefield on which Wittig has staked out a nearly unique position: "There is no sex. There is but sex that is oppressed and sex that oppresses....As a result, these ostensibly literary essays offer the most cogent statement of her political beliefs and, consequently, the most satisfying reading." --Publishers Weekly "Wittig most brilliantly analyzes certain transformations in the textures and structures of literary language. The wonderful image of the role of literature as a Trojan horse is a gem of clarity and wit." --Germaine Br Details ISBN0807079170 Author Monique Wittig Language English ISBN-10 0807079170 ISBN-13 9780807079171 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 305.420 Year 1992 Publication Date 1992-02-28 Imprint Beacon Press Place of Publication Boston, MA Country of Publication United States Short Title STRAIGHT MIND Illustrations black & white illustrations Pages 132 Publisher Beacon Press Subtitle And Other Essays DOI 10.1604/9780807079171 Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 1992-02-03 AU Release Date 1992-02-03 NZ Release Date 1992-02-03 US Release Date 1992-02-03 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
