The Fourth Generation of French Feminist Writers (1985-2010): From Fictionalized Text to Fictionalized Author

This study examines how the fictional works of contemporary French female authors can be read as a unique fantasy world in which the writer consciously manipulates the reader's (and spectator's) narrative expectations with explicit articulations of female desire. In addition, this work offers a literary and psychoanalytic reading of lesser-known female authors in French culture.
