Reviews

'Phillips discusses texts by Apollinaire, Pierre Louys, Georges Bataille, Pauline Reage, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Tony Duvert, Elizabeth Barille and Marie Darrieussecq, engaging in different levels of critical analysis so as to emphasize intertextual and parodic elements in one case, or points of possible identification in another.' --TLS
