Descrição: Linda Lê is distinctive for her intertextual engagement with global authors. Here, I examine her connections with exiled and nomadic English-language writers in her essay collections Tu écriras sur le bonheur (1999), Le complexe de Caliban (2005), and Par ailleurs (Exils) (2014). The dialogues within reveal two parallel authorial purposes: they substantiate the attitude Lê takes towards writing in exile and offer a roadmap to navigating her supplementary home in literature. I argue that Lê's reflections on English-language writers' biographies and her interpretations of their works thus had a defining effect on the construction of her life in exile literature.
