`a highly intelligent, up-to-date, well-informed study ... Wilson
skilfully moves through the writings of several theorists, paying
homage or disagreeing ... she is always resourceful, and often
insightful, in her interpretations. Her readings are astute on all
four writers.'

`Sexuality and the Reading Encounter is a highly intelligent,
up-to-date, well-informed study ... Wilson skilfully moves through
the writings of several theorists, paying homage or disagreeing ...
she is resourceful, and often insightful, in her
interpretations.'
Times Literary Supplement
`Wilson's use of Butler's rereading of Lacan to describe the
formative and yet not normative power of certain fictions over
their readers is thoroughly convincing. Her prose style in rich and
precise. ... The book is impeccably researched and written with
evidently painstaking care. It should significantly advance debate
about the intertwining of reading, desire, and identity in French
fiction since modernism, and should be on the reading lists of
all
undergraduates following courses that include the texts and authors
on which it focuses.'
MLR, 92.3, 1997
