But the dead cannot be buried so easily; they live on, spectres haunting her, as the cumulative effect of all her Herv s becomes a multifaced Death that simultaneously angers, saddens, cheers and confuses her. In this unfolding series of encounters between the living and the dead, Mavrikakis draws on Deleuze, Freud, Foucault and novelist Herv  Guibert to make of herself and of this visceral, compelling novel a kind of living mausoleu where those unable to speak may still be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.36 x 4.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771656306976,"sku":"9781552451403","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e748853579a2b8544c96ee05926d341a.webp?v=1780390436","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/a-cannibal-and-melancholy-mourning-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
