Helene Cixous is Emeritus Professor of Literature at the Universite de Paris VIII. One of the most celebrated contemporary writers and theorists, her recent publications in English include Dream I Tell You (2006), Portrait of Jacques Derrida as a Young Jewish Saint (2004), Helene Cixous: The Writing Notebooks (2004), and Veils (Stanford, 2001).

"Insister of Jacques Derrida, so expertly translated by Derrida's principal and most faithful translator, Peggy Kamuf, is an indispensable, daring, heartfelt and moving book. It presents a flawless, committed reading that is in the spirit of Derrida in its serious playfulness, its poetic sinuousness, its elegant reasoning and rhetoric while also being wholly in Cixous' own singular voice. This is not merely a study of Derrida, it is a haunting dialogue with his memory and with his phantom." -- Julian Wolfreys Loughborough University "I have often declared my admiration for Helene Cixous, for the person and for the work: immense, powerful, so multiple but unique in this century." Jacques Derrida
