The more you feel, the more instinctively you ward it off by increasing the love therefore the anguish. It would be unwise to call it a health scare. My experience earlier this week was nevertheless a novel one. I awoke in the night and my body didn't feel right. My imagination soon colored between the lines. I read nea In-love-in-anguish you really feel that had you known you could never had never loved the being you-love-forever, all along you feel love threatening you, but you don't know it.

I read nearly all of this at the doctor's office. Physically I think I'm fine.

I'm glad I had Cixous to lean on there. This masterful work concerns Cixous' time in the States in Her journey appears in the refracted lens of memory to be from library to library. She met someone at the Beinecke at Yale, the bond was one of letters, one of possibility. Her faded thoughts collect and gather, the mold of time and other loss leads to further association and puns. The floating theme appears to be Loss. It is a bold editorial decision, there are no footnotes, so the reader is free to race and revel.

I am glad I did.

I know that she coined the term "ecriture feminin" and I can see how Manhattan could be an example of that. The prose is many things that are considered "feminine" in writing: Cixous looks back in time at one of the events which formed her personal mythology and wonders why.

She looks back at other events in time, but mostly as they bracketed this one experience, meeting a man who turns out to be a sheep in wolves' clothing. Cixous is trying to figure out - I think - which version of the man she loved and why. That was my approach to reading this, as one dips in and out of a calm sea. That the sea is calm is a feature of age and its ability to analyze and forgive both self and other. Nov 07, Holly rated it liked it.

It's taken me a while but I've finally got round to reading it and it was, hard to describe. I enjoyed reading it, some aspects more than others, but it is definitely one that requires your full attention, and often it was easier to appreciate when read aloud. Cixous has a beautiful vocabulary however, incredibly vibrant and glittering, which certainly pulled you in many ti 3.

There are many wonderful passages in this book, enough to keep me reading even though the the fragmented nature of both its structure and my time made it nearly impossible for me to really get immersed in it. There is no story or plot to speak of -- or rather, there is one, but it is so obliquely related as to be all but impenetrable to me.

I think if I had spent more large chunks of time with this book, I would have understood the whole of it better.

Mar 11, Erin rated it really liked it. I enjoyed the circumlocution typical of Cixous which she employs to create only a spectre of the events she describes. However, I have a difficult time with the level of vulnerability of Cixous in relation to the relationship she describes as Cixous is someone I need to "be strong" in her writing.
