Bøger i Contemporary French and Francophone Cultures serien

Presents studies of authors who can be visualized as the islands that constitute an unknown, fragile and trembling literary and cultural Francophone archipelago. This book argues that they repair trauma through writing.

Acclaimed critic Lawrence Schehr uses analysis of AIDS narratives, mainstream films, popular novels, more mainstream novels, a graphic novel, and rightist polemics to explore the changing meaning of masculinity in French society.
