Women, Genre, and Circumstance: Essays in Memory of Elizabeth Fallaize, edited by Margaret Atack, Diana Holmes, Diana Knight and Judith Still, will be published in April by the British publisher Legenda. I have a new essay on Beauvoir’s short story “The Woman Destroyed” (“La Femme rompue”) in the volume. There is also an essay by Elizabeth Fallaize, which has never been published in English before. Click the link to see all the details. I am moved to see so many friends and colleagues coming together to honor Elizabeth’s memory.
