 | The Handmaid of Desire by John L'Heuruex
Olga Kominska can work miracles. A professor at a California university, she has bewitched the English department by bringing on the recovery of a mentally unstable colleague, advising a couple on how to conceive, and enabling a creative writing professor to produce a halfway decent novel. The scholars insist on deconstructing Olga in order to get at the heart of her mysteries, using, of course, the classifications specified by Foucault and Derrida. But they cannot begin to fathom Olga's miraculous works with only these tools at hand. AUTHOR: John L'Heuruex
