I Suffer, Therefore I Am: Engaging with Empathy in Contemporary French Women's Writing (56) (Research Monographs in French Studies)

The increase in the visibility of autobiographies and fiction recounting suffering has gone hand-in-hand with an emphasis on the possibilities and limits of empathy. Contemporary French women's writing interrogates the imperative to witness and respond to another subject's pain and raises questions about the relation between empathy and reading.
