TY - ECHAP TI - Returned to Sender Writing back to a Literary Precursor DO - 10.15122/isbn.978-2-8124-3796-0.p.0423 SN - 978-2-8124-3796-0 AB - This paper argues that in ­composing Lettre morte, French-Vietnamese writer Linda Lê was influenced by the letter form in Ingeborg ­Bachmann’s novel Malina. In her own postcolonial text Lê writes back to Bachmann as a literary precursor in a bid to solve ­Malina’s post-war dilemma of female entrapment.
