Andrew Asibong argues that at the heart of NDiaye's world lurks an indefinable 'blankness' which makes it impossible for the reader to decode narrative at the level of psychology or event. NDiaye's texts explore social stigmata and familial disintegration with a violence unmatched by any of her contemporaries, but in doing so they remain as strangely affectless and 'unrecognizable' as their dissociated protagonists. Considering each of NDiaye's works in chronological order (including her novels, theatre, short fiction and writing for children), Asibong assesses the aesthetic, emotional and political stakes of NDiaye's portraits of impenetrable selfhood. His book provides an original and provocative framework within which to read NDiaye as a simultaneously hybrid and hyper-French cultural figure, fascinating and fantastical practitioner of the postmodern - and reluctantly postcolonial - 'blank arts'.Contemporary French and francophone cultures ;30.Literary Criticism / European / FrenchbisacshLiteratureHistory and criticismLanguagesFrenchFranceLagrandMarie NDiayeNobody's GirlPsychicRosie CarpeLiterary Criticism / European / FrenchLiteratureHistory and criticism843.914Asibong Andrew941864UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910159428403321Marie NDiaye2125182UNINA
