It is no one's nonstory, yet it belongs to everyone and every one. It is a series of tales begun which are as old or as young as the writer and the reader, beginnings which reveal how the self and the story of each individual are continually created and re-created through social relationships. This fractured fairy tale, which opens at Tchekhov's deathbed in Germany and ends somewhere deep inside the reader, bears the unmistakable mark of Nathalie Sarraute in particular and of a woman writer in general. Although Sarraute would be the first to deny that any piece of writing could be characterized as having been written by a woman, it is nevertheless true that the territory she has charted out for her fictional explorations is a "no-man's land" that corresponds to Nancy Chodorow's later psychoanalytic insights as described in The Reproduction of Mothering and that corroborates the critical theory on women's writing elaborated by Judith Kegan Gardiner. The poles of Sarraute's fictioncontact and fusion versus the separation and individuation of the self in relation to others coincide with the processes
