More Description"This volume makes a significant contribution to debates concerning the evolving status of the 'I' in recent first-person narrative. Its studies of experimental writing by a range of French and Francophone authors offer a fascinating opportunity to reflect on the powerful sense of self that emerges both within literature and from literary encounter."
