Le Style Apollinaire: The Writing of Guillaume Apollinaire
I found this in a used bookstore in Northampton, MA (Raven Used Books) for $7.50, and I am glad I did, because it seems to be quite rare. This is my first Cixous, though I have been curious about her for some time. I know that she coined the term "ecriture feminin" and I can see how Manhattan could be an example of that. The prose is many things that are considered "feminine" in writing: stream-of consciousness, recollection in reverie, and non-linearity. It felt similar to reading Anais Nin (Diaries) or some Virginia Woolf (The Waves).
Cixous looks back in time at one of the events which formed her personal mythology and wonders why. She looks back at other events in time, but mostly as they bracketed this one experience, meeting a man who turns out to be a sheep in wolves' clothing. Cixous is trying to figure out - I think - which version of the man she loved and why. Why him? Why then?
Like other good stream-of-consciousness/reverie writing, you do not need to worry about reading every word; just float along with the language until it interrupts you with beauty. That was my approach to reading this, as one dips in and out of a calm sea. That the sea is calm is a feature of age and its ability to analyze and forgive both self and other.
