It's one of the first fictional works in which she fully realises what she described in The Laugh of the Medusa.. Writing through the body—this non-conforming, non-grammatical, visceral, straight-to-the-point female writing—is what she's doing.

Sophie Lewis on Hélène Cixous's ANGST

Cixous gets into the foundations of language... 'Experimental' just really doesn't cover it.

Hélène Cixous’s ANGST is launching @foylesforbooks this Tuesday 17 March

Join Sophie Lewis, Juliet Jacques and Emily LaBarge to explore Lewis's translation, écriture féminine and Cixous’s textual disruptions that convey an unshakeable demand for freedom

www.foyles.co.uk/events/angst...

From Schrödinger’s cat and science-fiction portals to magic, early trans activism and comics, Trans Central Station breaks the world open to ‘both completely new and unknowably ancient’ possibilities of desire, joy and revelation.

www.silverpress.org/products/tra...

‘Language in Cixous’s hands is molten, constantly opening onto fresh possibilities.’ Maggie Nelson

‘With Hélène Cixous you must close your eyes and open your mouth. Wider. So open your throat opens. Your esophagus. Your lungs. Wider [...] Now speak your body from your other mouth. Yell corporeal prayer. This is writing.’ Lidia Yuknavitch @lidiamiles.bsky.social

On Angst by Jamieson Webster February 27, 2026 – “What Lacan figures as structural alienation, Cixous writes as bodily anguish.”

‘Cixous reminds us that women have long spoken from a wound… To be is already to be abandoned, already to have lost, & still to love. To read Cixous is to tarry with this open wound, to hear how writing becomes testimony to its own possibility’ Jamieson Webster

When I wrote this a year ago I had no idea how bad things would get. Today, eight years after she left us, I'm trying to follow Ursula's advice: write and worry. Write and act. Worry and keep writing.
