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'. 410 0$aContemporary French and francophone cultures ;$v30. 606 $aLiterary Criticism / European / French$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aLanguages 610 $aFrench 610 $aFrance 610 $aLagrand 610 $aMarie NDiaye 610 $aNobody's Girl 610 $aPsychic 610 $aRosie Carpe 615 7$aLiterary Criticism / European / French 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 676 $a843.914 700 $aAsibong$b Andrew$0941864 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159428403321 996 $aMarie NDiaye$92125182 997 $aUNINA
