• W4379622490 abstract "514 Reviews of identity in Genet. This is perhaps due to the fact that the book is above all an engagement with Sartre's now over fifty-year-oldanalysis and ignores more recent debate on the problematization of identity in Genet. For example, although Cixous's inclusion of Genet as an example of ecriturefeminine is the firsttheoretical reference Gaitet makes (p. 13), the work of Cynthia Running-Johnson, the critic who initially discussed Genet's work in the light of Cixous's thinking, does not feature even in the bibliography. Moreover, careful study of 'The Laugh ofthe Medusa' itself,where Cixous's concern was precisely to separate the practice ofthe body froman anatomical given, might have helped to refinestatements such as 'the omnipresence ofthe phallus is impossible to reconcile with the ideaof a specifically feminine text' (p. 80). A similar question that would have rewarded more investigation is why 'it would be helpful to a feminist assessment of Genet' ifthe male organ was not in his work the 'primary site of male eroticism' (p. 71). Surely feminism is not opposed to the penis as a source of erotic pleasure? Nevertheless, Gaitet's clarity and concision will doubtless make this book attractive to undergraduate students of Genet's early novels in English.

Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2002. viii + 293pp. ?45ISBN 0-19-815982-x. Given the Caribbean region's tortured colonial and postcolonial history, and the forced historical displacement of many of its peoples, it is inevitable that questions of time and space should be a major preoccupation of Caribbean writing. Conceding the generic and linguistic limitations of her study?there is little discussion of drama or poetry, or of writing in Creole?Mary Gallagher rereads post-Negritude prose fiction from Martinique and Guadeloupe in an attempt to show how authors such as Zobel, Chamoiseau, Conde, Maximin, and Pineau negotiate the particularly tense, fraught, though also potentially creative and fertile,intersection between Caribbean space and time. The primary theoretical point of reference is Glissant; indeed, there is a Glissantian quality in Gallagher's highly sensitive writing, her relational ap? proach, and in the book's 'soundings' (as opposed to closed, sequential 'readings') of its chosen texts. The book in some senses goes against the trend in Caribbean studies to envision the region as a whole (cf. Antonio Benitez-Rojo, The Repeating Island: The Caribbean and thePostmodern Perspective (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1992), and J.Michael Dash, The Other America: Caribbean Literature in a New World Context (Charlottesville and London: University Press of Virginia, 1998)), though at the same time it avoids critical insularity by drawing significantly on anglophone authors such as Walcott, Brathwaite, and even Naipaul. The opening three chapters carefully probe the recurrent fascination, indeed obsession, with time, memory, and history which has shaped the 'movements' of Negritude, Antillanite, and Creolite. Gallagher is careful not to propose a clear teleological progression from one 'move? ment' to the next, but suggests a more complex relational, accumulative, and circular dynamic between them. Drawing on an unusually wide range of primary texts, Chap? ter 4 skilfully brings out the rich intertextual relations between Caribbean works, notably in an extended comparison of Saint-John Perse's 'Eloges' and Chamoiseau's Antan d'enfance. The following chapter is a sophisticated discussion of urban time and space, and the longer analysis of Zobel's Rue Cases-Negres as an early 'urban novel' is particularly convincing. Indeed, the analysis is at its best when it focuses at greater length on one or two texts; at other times, the quick shifts between texts and the proliferation of short subchapters tend to interrupt the flow of the arguments. MLRy 100.2, 2005 515 These are not so much faults as inevitable consequences of the high ambitions of this study, which is undoubtedly a major contribution to (French) Caribbean studies, a persuasive, subtle, and sensitive reading of an extremely rich body of writing.
