In 2009, the writernarrator finds a Box. Within it lie the pages of her very first manuscript, pages she thought she had long since thrown away. Le Prnom de Dieu was the text that marked the start of her prodigious career, and yet for the narrator it is also the Nameless Book, theBookthatcouldneverberead, the book written by someone other than her. Now, once again, it heralds a beginning, as its discovery is the start of a journey into the past.The title, with its reference to the murderous OurangOutang of Edgar Allan Poes The Murders in the Rue Morgue, sets the scene: this is a detective story haunted by literary ghosts. At the very heart of literature lies the fascination with the enigma, the search for something that has been lost. Cixous illustrates this as she leads her reader on a hunt for the ultimate hidden treasure, in the company of an array of venerable predecessors from SaintSimon, Proust and Stendhal to Shackleton, Poe and Jacques Derrida.Double Oblivion of the OurangOutang is a text about literature. It speaks of the books you read and the books you write, those you remember and those you forget, those you fear and those you revere. It is also a powerful, evocative tale of beginnings and endings, of remembering and forgetting, of things and their doubles.In a densely woven narrative, Cixouss latest text focuses on the extraordinary voyage that is literary creation, and in doing so also explores the themes of memory, loss and subjectivity.
