Summary

"Denise Riley writes a poet's prose, and her theoretical originality more than matches the engaging quality of her writing. She breathes life into the claim that the 'I' is an effect of language and draws her reader in both for the sake of her brilliant unpacking of existential idioms and for her renewal of the theoretical questions of where and how language locates us and how and with what effect we can relocate ourselves."--Ellen Rooney, Brown University

Author Biography

Denise Riley is a Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of East Anglia.
