Writing a Politics of Perception

Memory, Holography, and Women Writers in Canada
Language: English
Published/Copyright: 2000

About this book

Looking at five novels by women writing in Canada, Thompson develops a theory of ‘holographic memory,’ in which texts are performances that invite constant revision, remodelling, and interaction between narrative, memory, and, potentially, reality.
