Marie Nimier's writing exemplifies a contemporary 'return of the subject' in the rich diversity of the fifteen novels she has published since Sirène in 1985, blending fiction and life-writing. This collection of essays explores central aspects of self and subject across her oeuvre and includes an original short story by Nimier.
David Gascoigne is Honorary Senior Lecturer in French at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. His publications have largely focused on French narrative of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including books on Michel Tournier, and on Georges Perec and ludic fiction. After excursions into Oulipian paratext, Dadaist poetry and the writings of Pascal Bruckner, he has more recently been preoccupied with the writing of Marie Nimier: his contribution here is the fifth article he has published on her work.
Ana Maria Sousa Aguiar de Medeiros is Director of the Modern Language Centre at King's College London. She has published a number of volumes focusing on the writing of Francophone authors including Assia Djebar, Marie Nimier, Amélie Nothomb and Marguerite Yourcenar. Since 2016, she has been a co-investigator working with Language Acts and Worldmaking and a consultant for Memoirs, a Horizon 2020-funded project.
