Jacques Derrida argues that the feminist and intellectual HA(c)lA]ne Cixous is the most important writer working within the French idiom today. To prove this, he elucidates the epistemological and historical interconnectedness of four terms: genesis, genealogy, genre, and genius, and how they pertain to or are implicated in Cixous's work.Derrida explores Cixous's genius (a masculine term in French, he is quick to point out) and the inspiration that guides and informs her writing. He marvels at her skill in working with multiple genres. He focuses on a number of her works, including her extraordinary novel "Manhattan" and her lyrical and evocative "Dream I Tell You." Derrida also delves into the nature of the literary archive, the production of literature, and the importance of the poetic and sexual difference to the entirety of his own work.
