Body [in] Parts: Bodies and Identity in Sade and Guibert

by Clara Orban

Overview

The early works of Hervé Guibert explored every aspect of the body and its desires. He was influenced by the works of the Marquis de Sade, and this book discusses how both authors manipulate their identities; theatrical aspects of both authors’ works; how story telling brings freedom to both authors; and disintegrating and disappearing bodies.
