Abstract

The novel of Inoué, subtly wrought around three letters addressed by a woman to the same man and collected by the narrator, dramatizes the suicidal passage to the act of the heroine Saïko. This suicide attempt evidences a fundamental discontinuity with the previous attempts which have punctuated her life for 13 years. Beyond the role which the Signifier and the 'object a' play in this case, this suicide of a woman is also enlightened by the position of the subject in relation to the 'Autre jouissance'.
