Description
Hyperdream is a major new novel by celebrated French author Hélène Cixous. It challenges our most fundamental certainty: death is inevitable, and that's the end.
The book invests this fragile idea with poetic audacity, inventing a "magic telephone" to connect us to those who have passed on. Hyperdream explores themes of time, age, love, and loss, turning its attention to the question of death itself.
Through its unique blend of tragedy and comedy, this novel presents a universal family romance that reveals the narrator's connection to a "treasure of literature" - a bed purchased by her mother in 1934. A book of mourning and morning, Hyperdream is a powerful exploration of life, death, and the spaces in between.
