Reviews for Volleys of Humanity: Essays 1972–2009
As essayist, Helene Cixous always astonishes with the unforeseeable volleys of her poetically driven, politically riven prose. How fortunate her English language readers are to find these priceless texts together in one volume. Time, almost forty years, has passed, but untouched is the absolute youth and vitality of every line.
