In writing Le Livre de Promethea Hélène Cixous set for herself the task of bridging the immeasurable distance between love and language. She describes a love between twonbsp;women in its totality, experienced as both a physical presence and a sense of infinity. The result is a stunning example of Pecriture feminine that won kudos when published in France in 1983. Its translation into English by Betsy Wing will extend the influence of a writer already famous for her novels and contributions to feminist theory. In her introduction Betsy Wing notes the contemporary emphasis on "fictions of presence." Cixous, in The Book of Promethea, works to "repair the separation between fiction and presence, trying to chronicle a very-present love without destroying it in the writing."

This 200 page prose poem again allows fiction, philosophy and memoir to blend in an aching harmony. Often maddening, this is a departure for Cixous. Usually her sensuality maintains a literary edge, not here, this is tactile and lustful. This is a dreamish account of affair between two women with images from the caves at Lascaux to a refugee camp in Lebanon. It is often was captivating, at times frustrating. We should heed the advice offered: Because Promethea asks me for a bowl of words before she goes to sleep. ( )
