Michèle Causse, a writer to read « In order to contradict her epitaph “Neither
read, nor approved of” »
Michèle Causse systematically demanded recognition of her position as a
radical lesbian. For her, a lesbian is « inaccessible, untouchable, inalienable,
inappropriable... ».
« A lesbian can't be a fiction, but a utopian and therefore political reality (.).
Existing, for her, can not be imitation, because she alone must, (.) give birth
to herself. ». ( L'interloquée,
Les oubliées de l'oubli, Dégénérée, Editions Trois, Québec, p. 51 and 60).
Suzette Robichon, editor of the revue Vlasta, revue des fictions et utopies amazoniennes (1983-1985) co-founded with Michèle Causse and Sylvie Bompis,
will introduce Michèle's journey as a writer,
translator and nomad.
Françoise Leclère author of IlliZible !, in which she provided keys for reading Michèle Causse's three novels: L'encontre,
( ) et Voyages de la Grande Naine en Androssie, will present Michèle’s books. « What I like best about it is its form, like a dialogue with the author. »
