Description:
Author of numerous books since 1991 and winner of the 2005 Prix Renaudot, Nina Bouraoui persistently explores the question of self-expression in her work. This study of Bouraoui's work examines how self-referential writing can represent a crucial act of resistance to a number of contemporary problems, including race, gender and social isolation.
Review Quotes: Overall, this essay on Nina Bouraoui's autofictional writing makes an important contribution to gender and genre studies in the field of Francophone literature, along with constituting a very thorough analysis of Bouraoui's work that is, as far as I know, unprecedented.
