Intertextual Weaving in the Work of Linda Lê: Imagining the Ideal Reader

By Alexandra Kurmann

Intertextual Weaving in the Work of Linda L Imaging the Ideal Reader uncovers and explores the sixteen-year intertextual relationship fostered by the Vietnamese-Francophone writer in French exile Linda L with a self-chosen literary precursor, the Austrian poet-turned-writer Ingeborg Bachmann. Spanning French and German language literatures of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, this book reveals transnational and trans-linguistic connections between the Francophone postcolonial and post-World War II literary worlds.
