Review Wipe Out / PublishAmerica:When an accident renders her younger brother, an avid surfer, quadriplegic and paralyzed from the neck down, Chris is forced to confront her conflicted feelings of fear, resentment, guilt and uncertainty. Against the backdrop of a melodic connection to surfing and the sea, Wipe Out is a haunting yet often amusing story about the search for meaning amid chaos. It is a journey through the ambiguities of an eccentric, privileged childhood, and how the past impacted the events leading up to, and following, the accident. Ultimately, Wipe Out is a profoundly inspirational story that takes the reader on a journey through the deepest layers of the human heart, leading to the ultimate triumph of compassion and love over suffering. It is a sister’s love story to her brother.

Review Manhattan: Letters from Prehistory / Fordham University Press:Manhattan is the tale of a young French scholar who travels to the United States in 1965 on a Fulbright Fellowship to consult the manuscripts of beloved authors. In Yale University’s Beinecke Library, tantalized by the conversational and epistolary brilliance of a fellow researcher, she is lured into a picaresque and tragic adventure. Meanwhile, back in France, her children and no-nonsense mother await her return. A young European intellectual’s first contact with America and the city of New York are the background of this story. The experience of Manhattan haunts this labyrinth of a book as, over a period of thirty-five years, its narrator visits and revisits Central Park and a half-buried squirrel, the Statue of Liberty and a never again to be found hotel in the vicinity of Morningside Heights: a journey into memory in which everything is never the same. Traveling from library to library, France to the United States, Shakespeare to Kafka to Joyce, Manhattan deploys with gusto all the techniques for which Cixous’s fiction and essays are known: rapid juxtapositions of time and place, narrative and description, analysis and philosophical reflection. It investigates subjects Cixous has spent her life probing: reading, writing, and the “omnipotence-other” seductions of literature; a family’s flight from NaziGermany and postcolonial Algeria; childhood, motherhood, and, not least, the strange experience of falling in love with, as Jacques Derrida writes, “a counterfeit genius. ”.

Review Memoir of Burns (The Collected Works of James Hogg) / Edinburgh University Press:Written in 1832 but published only in 1836, after Hogg's death, Memoir of Burns was the culmination of Hogg's lifelong interest in Burns's poetry and life. Among the most neglected of his writings, this volume has never before been republished separately from the multi-volume edition of Burns for which it was written, Volumes 1-4 of the Hogg-Motherwell Works of Robert Burns. This is the first modern editorial treatment of the work. *The only scholarly edition that documents Hogg's use of his sources*Contains the comments Hogg made on individual Burns poems and songs in the annotations to the Works volumes*Draws on hitherto-unused manuscript material to clarify the relation between Hogg and Motherwell in the editing of the Works.

Review The Siege of Malta and Bizarro / Edinburgh University Press:The Siege of Malta is one of Scott's most moving works. The story of the Siege itself is remarkable, with its combination of individual defeat and group survival against overwhelming odds. It had been part of Scott's mental furniture from his early days, and it acquires a new and powerful resonance when remembered alongside his then-failing health. To read it is an enlarging experience, which anyone at all interested in Scott should share. The incomplete narrative of Bizarro is also a fascinating document from the end of Scott's life. In it he returns to the figure of the bandit/outlaw which had intrigued him all his life and had played such an important part in two of his greatest novels, in the persons of Rob Roy himself in Rob Roy and Robin Hood in Ivanhoe. * The only available editions of these two works by Scott* Provides reading texts that remain broadly faithful to the manuscripts, but tidying them up in the way that the original intermediaries might have been expected to do* Diplomatic transcriptions, which involves attempting to reproduce the manuscripts as faithfully as possible in type, using appropriate conventions to indicate deletions and doubtful readings* Access to a digital reproduction of the manuscripts on an accompanying CD* An Essay on the Text that outlines its genesis and composition, describing the manuscripts, and presenting and illustrating the procedures involved in preparing the reading text* A Historical Note and set of Explanatory Notes along with a combined Glossary* Accompanying CD containing digital photographs of the manuscripts.
