- Summary
- "In French, 'il, ' the third person masculine singular pronoun, can also have no gender at all: il pleut means 'it's raining.' In Dominique Fourcade's IL, 'il' means 'it' but not exactly. Genderless, 'it' is the man-woman, the woman-man, and the place where we are each other. Rather than exploit difference, Fourcade allows the sonority of the word to generate the curious masculine-feminine dialogue, where, if listening, we faintly hear the whisper of neutrality."--Jacket
