L'abîme du désir: Antoinette Peské et l'écriture de l'impossible. 

Exploration of desire and impossibility in the works of Antoinette Peské. This insightful book, adapted from a master's thesis in literary studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal, is a testament to the importance of transforming academic research into accessible publications.
The book delves into the complex dynamics of desire in Peské's novels through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalytic theories. Marie-Rose Boulos offers a fresh perspective on Antoinette Peské, a fascinating yet understudied author. Peské's work, which draws inspiration from 19th-century dark romanticism while demonstrating an inherent understanding of psychoanalysis, provides fertile ground for Boulos's analysis.
Through close readings of two of Peské’s novels, Que cherches tu? (1924) and La Boîte en os (1941), Boulos examines the interplay between desire, death, and the unattainable object of affection. A comparative study of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights further enriches the book's analysis. Brontë's novel, a key influence on Peské, serves as a literary paradigm for understanding dark romanticism and exploring destructive passions and the allure of the absolute.
L'abîme du désir is a compelling read that will appeal to anyone interested in French literature, dark romanticism, psychoanalysis, and gender studies. It is a significant contribution to Antoinette Peské scholarship, reviving interest in this intriguing author. Boulos's insightful analysis sheds new light on the complexities of desire, its destructive potential, and its enduring power in shaping human experience.
