Envois

Sharon Kivland

A novel-in-correspondence, a neither/nor publication defying easy category—a book that rests somewhere between fiction and memoir—Envois is a collection of letters sent to Sharon Kivland by the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan during the course of their long and stormy love affair from 1953 until his death in 1981.

'Reflexive, obsessive, and always teetering on the edge of abstraction, this is a text of experimental brilliance. Envois is a chameleon, a scholar, a lover, and a clown.' - Helen Charman
