Includes bibliographies and index.
'Truth' in memory and narrative: Marguerite Dura's 'Monsieur X. dit ici Pierre Rabier' -- Shame in memory and narrative: Annie Ernaux's La honte -- The anxiety of influence and the urge to originate: Nathalie Sarraute's Entre la vie et la mort -- The sound of the semiotic: Anne Hébert's Les fous de Bassan.
"From two world wars to rapid industrialization and population shifts, events of the twentieth century engendered cultural anxieties to an extent hitherto unseen, particularly in Europe. In Telling Anxiety, Jennifer Willging examines manifestations of such anxieties in the selected narratives of four women writing in French - Marguerite Duras, Nathalie Sarraute, Annie Ernaux, and Anne Hebert. Willging demonstrates that the anxieties inherent in these women's works (whether attributed to characters, narrators, or implied authors) are multiple in nature and relate to a general post-Second World War scepticism about the power of language to express non-linguistic phenomena such as the destruction and loss of life that a large portion of Europe endured during that period."--Jacket.
