Témoignage du vécu de la prise en charge d’un patient atteint de Sclérose Latérale Amyotrophique et de son entourage

La Sclérose Latérale Amyotrophique frappe le plus souvent des individus en pleine activité, sportifs, hyperactifs. La maladie vient télescoper une vie, en modifier tous les repères personnels et familiaux. Elle impose une vigilante et constante présence tant l’évolution conduit le malade vers un emmurement total, avec très souvent une lucidité préservée voire exacerbée. Les handicaps s’enchaînent sans répit, les correctifs plus ou moins performants se succèdent : canne, déambulateur, fauteuil, lève-malade, synthèse vocale, gastrostomie, puis fin de vie ou trachéotomie. Les correctifs « mécaniques » ne suffisent pas. Les aides humaines infirmière, kinésithérapeute, orthophoniste, auxiliaire de vie sont indispensables pour la vie quotidienne. Leur recrutement est difficile, la performance pas toujours au rendez-vous. Les aides financières, administratives, pour modifier l’habitat devenu inaccessible, pour aménager le véhicule permettant les déplacements ou pour financer une présence d’accompagnement, imposent des démarches multiples et tenaces. L’engagement de l’aidant confine à l’épuisement en raison d’une vigilance indispensable même la nuit ! Malade et famille sont face à la déchéance de ce patient lucide culpabilisant devant la charge qu’il représente, au désir qu’il a que cela finisse. L’ARS, avec ses bénévoles hospitaliers et de proximité apporte un réel soulagement à ces familles en détresse. LS usually affects highly active, working, sportive individuals. The disease has a devastating impact on the patient's personal life and family ties.Indeed, the disease requires constant attention from the carer for its rapidly progressive nature leads the patient to a complete state of isolation without affecting his/her intellect. For the patient days, are numbered, for the carer, time is limited.The carer must cope with a number of medical, administrative and financial difficulties. These include belated diagnosis with its disastrous consequences on medication, lack of response from the decision-making services, home-improvements or car-fitting. All this requires amazing tenacity from the carer. All the more so as the progress of handicap is relentless and the patient is bound to use different forms of support, walking-stick, zimmer, wheel-chair, hoist, speech synthesis, gastrostomy, tracheotomy or palliative care, which turn out to be more or less effective. But mechanical devices are not enough. Assistance by a nurse, a physiotherapist, a speech therapist and/or a nursing auxiliary is necessary. There are not enough of these assistants and the result cannot be guaranteed, but their role is essential in home care. The carer's investment can be terribly consuming. The burden of 24h care wears out the carer whose days and nights are being regulated by the disease. Not to mention lonely patients with no means of support who find themselves confronted with inevitable daunting problemsInstitutions providing either temporary or permanent care for ALS patients are scarce.As the condition worsens steadily, the patient suffers sheer desperation and guilt feelings and resents being a burden for family yet would rather stay with them. ARS volunteers who collaborate with medical teams can provide much help. The carer's burden should be greatly lightened too by the newly-installed tutorial system : patients’ files will be followed up by one single person after the center's social worker has drawn them up.Medical and home volunteers cooperate to give the patient the feeling that far from being abandoned or ostracized by society, he/she is constantly being given care.

In Search of the Story: A Friendship between Critic and Writer

In Search of the Story:A Friendship between Critic and Writer Michal Govrin, Writer Translated by Yael Levin I. Blind Date I first met Shlomith in the Fall of 1976 at café Savion in the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Rehavia. It was a blind date arranged by a mutual acquaintance, who had for some reason insisted: "You and Shlomith Rimmon must meet." It was only a short time after I had returned from my doctoral studies in Paris. My surface agenda was to look for friends, for conversation. Underneath, however, what I brought to the meeting was a "disruption of the self" (to start borrowing from Shlomith's conceptual framework). I had left my emotional and intellectual life, my loaded relationship with Europe and its buried legacy, in Paris. In an act of cultural rebellion, a complex move of betrayal-in-fidelity, and an urge to expose a repressed voice, whether individual, cultural, or communal, I had returned not to Tel Aviv, the city of my youth, but to Jerusalem. On the way to the café my palpitations came from a still deeper source. At that time I had already chosen literary writing as a way of life. Even if this remained unsaid, in meeting Shlomith I was hoping to find a partner for a kind of a secret esoteric sect. True to her notorious Yekke (German-Jewish) precision, the analytic star of the Hebrew University was already waiting for me at the café. To my surprise and delight, she was frank, direct, and humorous; she immediately legitimized the radical rebel in me. And the laughter that kept erupting from some intense energy would become a major part of the narrative that connects us. We decided to continue meeting and to start a study group. A later meeting, this time including Dr. Moshe Ron, a colleague of Shlomith's, took place at a coffee-shop near Jaffa Gate in the Old City. (Today, after two Intifadas, this would be an impossible venue. And our first [End Page 257] meeting-place, Café Savion, eventually renamed Café Moment, would go down in history as the site of one of the most murderous terrorist attacks of 2002.) With Moshe Ron we "founded" a forum for reading and discussing critical texts: Poulet, de Man, and Derrida (before he entered our lives in person)... The conversation with Shlomith has since turned into an intimate friendship of nearly thirty years. It has not been a dependent relationship, of any manipulative variety, between a critic and a writer but rather something of an alliance between two stone miners converging from two opposite directions in the darkness of their mountain-tunnels, on two sides of a blind spot. Or a "fruitful dialogue," to use another of Shlomith's expressions: "I endeavor to theorize through literature, to use the novels as, in some sense, the source of theory," she writes in A Glance beyond Doubt, adding that this process "can be seen as a fruitful dialogue or interaction between literature and theory" (1996: 1). Our dialogue always exposed a blind spot, a point of friendship from which we took each other by the hand and guided each other over extensive ground, the blind and the sighted as one. Today, too, I sense the quiver of the glance beyond the shroud, towards a blind spot. Is it mine? Is it Shlomith's? Is it that of reading others in order to write the self? My words here will no doubt also contain such a spot, on which Shlomith's gaze will shed light. I shall not go into the details of the autobiographical "plot" beyond suggesting that it was a more or less linear "full life." "Toute une vie," as Beckett's Mercier and Camier would say in the eponymous novel (1974: 66). Before casting off their shared coat they enumerate the contents of its pocket: "punched tickets of all sorts . . . the classic last tenth of a pointless pencil, . . . a few porous condoms, dust. Life in short" (66). For each of us there has been love and marriage, the birth of children, and the loss of parents, a continuous battle against the shortness of time, and against the body—with its...

The African Writers Series: a chronology with notes

1956 Publication of Mongo Beti Le Pauvre Christ de Bomba, Ferdinand Oyono Une Vie de Boy, Sembene Ousmane Le Docker Noir, Bernard Dadie Climbie, David Diop Coup de Pilon (all were to appear in translation in AWS) The AWS policy was to introduce the best writing from Africa through the medium of English. Translations of novels in foreign languages such as French and Portuguese often sold far more copies than in the original language. There were to be novels, stories, plays and poetry translated from African languages such as Zulu, Sesotho, Swahili, Gikuyu and Yoruba. Egyptian and Sudanese titles translated from Arabic also appeared after 1970 in parallel Heinemann series, Arab Authors. 1958 Chinua Achebe Things Fall Apart (and No Longer at Ease 1960) published in hardback by William Heinemann. 1960 Heinemann Educational Books (HEB) set up as separate company in the Heinemann Group of Publishers. Nigerian independence. 1961 Mbari Club founded. (17 titles published before 1964. Several reprinted in AWS). Heinemann was far from alone in publishing work by Africans; there were also several active rival British publishers such as Andre Deutsch, Collins Fontana, Hutchinson, Faber and Longman. Some of their authors such as Gabriel Okara, Cyprian Ekwenesi, and Buchi Emecheta were sub-contracted to the AWS. These authors later chose first publication by Heinemann. 1962 Foundation of the African Writers Series. Alan Hill and Van Milne at HEB published the first four titles. Only cautious 2,500 copies of each title were printed to see if there was market. Chinua Achebe appointed Editorial Adviser. Chinua Achebe, with quiet determination, got Heinemann Educational Books to publish the very best books without any inhibitions of sex, religion or politics. These subjects would in the sixties have kept them out of British schools. In Africa some of the titles were selected as set books by the new examination councils (WAEC and EAEC). These unexpected prescriptions led to substantial sales which allowed Chinua Achebe to encourage editors in Heinemann to experiment. His name was, as Alan Hill said, a magnet which attracted new writers to the AWS. The photographs on the back of the orange covers gave Africans the idea that they too might get published. Chinua Achebe and Van Milne went to the 'Mbari' meeting of African Writers at Makerere University College, Uganda and were offered manuscripts of The River Between and Weep Not, Child by Kenyan student, Ngugi. The publication of these two novels was the moment of take off. An educational company began to publish new writing in paperback as well as in hardback; in British publishing at the time this role was traditionally performed by general hardback publishers and paperback publishers selected titles to reprint. British publishers did not believe that there was general market for books in Africa. 1963 Keith Sambrook came from Nelson to Heinemann Educational Books to develop the list for Africa, Caribbean and South-East Asia. He had been an editor at the Manchester University Press, worked in Ghana and founded Ghana Universities Press. (Van Milne had returned to Nelson). Keith Sambrook and Alan Hill shared Chinua Achebe's confidence that new writers would emerge if they had the encouragement of knowing that they could get published and sold. He set up Heinemann sales offices in Nairobi and Ibadan primarily to sell textbooks. He built on the success of the first four titles to the Series with canny choice for the first thirty titles, including translations and representative anthologies. 1964 Sales office opened in Nairobi with Bob Markham as Manager. 1965 Aig Higo, poet and headmaster, had been, like Chinua Achebe, at the University of Ibadan and was active in the Mbari Club. Their work together ensured that the series developed with the first time publication of distinguished new Nigerian writers such as John Munoye, Flora Nwapa and Elechi Amadi. …

There Are Nowadays Professors of Philosophy, but not Philosophers

There Are Nowadays Professors of Philosophy, but not Philosophers Pierre Hadot It is remarkable that the first pages of Walden are dedicated to the critique of man's habitual life. Thoreau ironically described it as a worse punishment than the asceticism (l'ascese) of the Brahmans and the twelve tasks of Hercules. Men lead a senseless life (une vie d'insensé). They are in ignorance and error, absorbed by artificial worries and unnecessarily harsh tasks. They are only machines, tools of their tools.1 Their existence is only despair or resignation. The reason for men's unhappiness, in the eyes of Thoreau, is that they ignore what is necessary and sufficient for life, that is to say, simply everything for maintaining their vital heat. "The grand necessity, then, for our bodies, is to keep warm, to keep the vital heat in us."2 In fact, as Thoreau will demonstrate, man has need of few things for reaching this result, and above all not luxury. "Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."3 It suffices to convince ourselves to remember the mode of life of Chinese, Hindu, Persian, and Greek philosophers, poor when it comes to external riches, rich when it comes to internal riches (pauvres pour ce qui est de la richesse extérieure, riches pour ce qui est de la richesse intérieure). These examples now are far from us, but Thoreau continues, "There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers."4 That is because for him, "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, [. . .]5 but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically."6 Thoreau [End Page 229] takes advantage of the occasion to attack professors of philosophy, those great scholars and thinkers whose success is only a "courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly,"7 because in being content with theoretical discourse, they encourage men to keep living in an absurd manner. The life of these philosophers is pure conformity, and they let humanity degenerate in luxury. Thoreau, for his part, implicitly presents himself as the true philosopher, "He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries."8 And he ends his discussion, certainly with a little irony, with a definition of the philosopher that may leave us flabbergasted: "How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?"9 And to maintain his vital heat, man does not need to make great efforts. In order to meet his needs, Thoreau calculates that he works only six weeks a year: "To maintain one's self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely [. . .]."10 If Thoreau thus leaves to live in the woods, this is evidently not only for maintaining his vital heat in the most economical way possible, but it is that he wants "to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."11 "I wanted to live deep," he writes, "and suck out all the marrow of life [. . .]."12 And among these essential acts of life, there is the pleasure of perceiving the world through all his senses. It is to this that, in the woods, Thoreau directs the largest part of his time. One never grows tired of rereading the sensual beginning of the chapter titled "Solitude": "This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirtsleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, . . . all the elements are unusually congenial to me. [. . .] Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost...

La traduction du discours indirect libre

The French language disposes of subtle means of indicating free indirect discourse or style, such as the variation between passé simple and imparfait, the indefinite pronoun on and the demonstrative determiner ce. The dual voice they give rise to in virtue of their double anchoring in the speech situation and the narration is a challenge in translation into a language lacking these means. Even if Swedish has formal correspondants to on and ce, these are not used in the same way in narrative texts. Two Swedish translations of Guy de Maupassant’s Une vie reveal, in spite of their differences, that other markers, such as the combination of the preterit tense with the deictic adverb nu (‘now’), familiar and evaluative expressions, and adverbs of modality, are chosen to mark free indirect discourse and indicate the subjective point of view of represented thought.

Sartre's Legacy in Postcolonial Theory; or, Who's Afraid of Non-Western Historiography and Cultural Studies?

Despite a guilty conscience about depending upon Western-derived analytical matrices, postcolonial theory continues to exhibit a lack of interest in non-Western cultures' articulations of meaning and value, for its dominant conceptual frameworks remain tethered to assumptions embedded in the anticolonial theorizing of Jean-Paul Sartre and his associates. Taking anticolonialism to be simply the "negation" of colonial oppression and ideas, postcolonial theory replicates existentialist ethical discourse in ways that ensure that it will be unable to engage contemporary research tracing how indigenous acculturation shapes anticolonial ethics and politics. By contrast, Levinas offers ways of revising postcolonial theory so as to allow non-Western historiography to inform postcolonial literary criticism--as may be illustrated by readings of Camara Laye's L'Enfant noir (1953), Ferdinand Oyono's Une Vie de Boy (1956), and Ahmadou Kourauma's Les Soleils des independences (1968).

Colonial Violence and Psychological Defenses in Ferdinand Oyono'sUne vie de boy

hile suggesting parallels between ancient and modern tales of captivity and grief, Ferdinand Oyono's Une vie de boy anticipates postcolonial abuses so passionately denounced by Wole Soy- inka in The Open Sore of a Continent. A masterpiece of psychological acuity and ironic narration, novel traces short sorrowful life of Toundi, an African boy who leaves his native village to live at French mission in a fi ctional town called Dangan. The tale is told by protagonist, who changes his name from Toundi to Joseph when he goes to live among colonizers. Unknowingly launched upon a journey that will lead to his own destruction, Toundi recounts his dreadful story in a naively optimistic voice that suggests situation of a lamb thrown in among wolves dressed up in sheep's clothing. An early indication of his inclination to embrace role of a victim is evident in Toundi's complacent acceptance of Christian name Joseph. This propensity of victim to identify with aggressor is, indeed, crucial element in Oyono's brilliant articulation of cor- respondence between a brutally corrupt colonial administration and ruinously compromised psychology of colonized subject. Like his biblical namesake, who was falsely accused of raping his employer's wife, Toundi falls into orbit of a powerful woman whose illicit desires make her vulnerable to punitive wrath of a patriarchal authority. Though Toundi/Joseph is not object of his mistress's desire, and though he never testifi es against her, his role as incidental observer of her indiscretions leads to his eventual arrest and torture by colonial agents who are just as adept as Potiphar's wife in projecting blame for their own faults onto an innocent subordinate. In fact, there is an ironic dispar- ity between ominous implications of biblical name and naive optimism of Toundi's characteristic perspective. Toundi's curious compla- cency is defensive in nature, and entirely consistent with psychology of an individual reacting to a context of unrelenting abuse. The critical importance of Toundi/Joseph's name has been under- scored by Anne M. Menke, who suggests that signifi cance of bibli- cal allusion may have to do with quality of protagonist. Noting that both Joseph of Old Testament and Joseph, the titular husband of Virgin Mary were exemplary asexual men, she speculates that the loss of sexuality may be price colonized has to pay to be a hero in a Western story/structure (21-22). Though this analysis makes essential connection between Toundi's French name and his status as inno- cent victim, it is ultimately an oversimplifi cation of Oyono's procedure in several ways. In fi rst place, it is worth noting that Toundi is only asex- ual if sexuality is defi ned as actively engaging in sexual relations with

Francophone Literatures: A Literary and Linguistic Companion by Malcolm Offord , Nicki Hitchcott , Sam Haigh , Rosemary Chapman (review)

212 Reviews Francophone Literatures: A Literary and Linguistic Companion. By Malcolm Offord , La'ila Ibnlfassi, Nicki Hitchcott, Sam Haigh, and Rosemary Chapman . London and New York: Routledge. 2001. ix + 283pp. ?60 (pbk ?18.99). ISBN 0-415-19839-9 (pbk 0-415-19840-2). This collection of thirty extracts from key francophone novels since the 1930s? accompanied by textual commentaries?aims to provide an accessible introductory study aid. The books is divided into four major sections (respectively, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, and North America), each of which contains a succinct historical and cultural overview introduced by a different specialist. The chosen, often lengthy, extracts follow on chronologically by date of composition, and have their own bibliography and literary commentary ('Text and Context') provided by the section specialist, followedby a 'Languageand Style' com? mentary provided by Malcolm Offord throughout. Offord's very detailed linguistic and stylistic analyses usefully illustrate the various methodological perspectives from which literary texts can be studied. The short introduction provides a rationale forthe exclusion of theatre and poetry (in order to focus on the novel), explains the choice of texts (based on the availability of set texts), and justifies the geographical limitations (Belgium and Switzerland are excluded) as enabling more detailed thematic analyses. The introduction provides the essential conceptual and methodological definitions for the linguistic and stylistic analyses. However, while the contributors make clear thematic comparisons between texts in their respective sections, the absence of a substantial thematic overview hinders comparisons across sections on (for example) 'space', gender power relations, and the critique of post-independence regimes. Such an overview would have made more explicit the link between culture and politics at the heart of many francophone novels. In her section on North Africa, Laila Ibnlfassi's very diverse and well-chosen range oftexts (among which Chraibi'sLe Passe simple, Nina Bouraoui'sL<2 Voyeuseinterdite, Tahar Ben Jelloun's L'Enfant de sable and La Nuit sacree) reveal the extent to which the family condenses power relations present at the level of society as a whole?a theme echoed across all sections of the book. Two texts are also included by writers of Algerian origin born in France (Azouz Begag, Mehdi Charef). Nicki Hitchcott's section on Sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean provides accessible explanations on, forexample, the colonial gaze (F. Oyono's Une vie de boy) and the epistolary novel (Miriama Ba's Une si longue lettre). There are some stylistically and linguistically challenging extracts (Ahmadou Kourouma's Les Soleils des independances and Sony Labou Tansi's La Vie et demie) that the commentaries explain very thoroughly. Sam Haigh's section on the Caribbean gives due attention to Haitian literatures (Dany Laferriere ,Jacques Roumain) as well as to those of Martinique and Guadeloupe (Patrick Chamoiseau, Maryse Conde, Daniel Maximin, Simone Schwarz-Bart, among others), particularly in relation to narratives of history, memory, and resistance in contexts where legacies of slavery and colonialism remain very present. At a textual level, the infusion of Creole is closely analysed throughout. In her section on North America, Rosemary Chapman does seek to link themes from francophone Canadian literatures to those from other, more recent, colonial contexts, notably via Antonine Maillet's Pelagie-la Charrette, which chronicles the Acadians' return to the Bay of Fundy in the 1770s after their forcible expulsion by the English. This collection succeeds in showing the development of francophone literatures from a chronological perspective and thereby constitutes a very timely addition to a growing field.

Thomism and the Nouvelle Théologie

The Thomist 64 (2000): 1-19 THOMISM AND THE NOUVELLE THEOLOGIE AIDAN NICHOLS, 0.P. Blackfriars Cambridge, Great Britain The purpose of this essay is to consider a particular incident in the theological history of this century, one with a significance extending beyond its own time and place.1 This is the intellectual clash of arms between the chief representatives of what would shortly be called la nouvelle theologie2-Jean Danielou, Henri de Lubac, and others-and the classical French Dominican Thomism of the Revue Thomiste, in the years 1946 to 1948. The Dominican intervention was an important moment in the chain of events that led to the promulgation of Pius XII's encyclical Humani Generis, in 1950, on false trends in modern teaching, and to the eclipse-temporary in nature as it would prove-of the reputations of de Lubac and the others which followed in that encyclical's wake. The wider significance of the episode is that it raises the question of the relation between, on the one hand, the Thomist tradition, and, on the other, that Neopatristic theology, consciously open to certain aspects of modernity while retaining a primary allegiance to the Christian sources in Bible and Fathers, which can be regarded as the chief inspiration of the Second Vatican Council and the predominant 1 Fr. Romanus Cessario, O.P., has already signaled the importance of this episode in the pages of this journal: see idem, "An Observation on Robert Lauder's Review of G. A.

One has only to ponder the fact that both leaders of the nouvelle theologie mentioned above were made cardinals (the first by Paul VI, the second by the present pope), whereas their main Dominican critic, Marie-Michel Labourdette, entered the most total obscurity until the Revue Thomiste devoted an entire issue to him, under the title Un maltre en theologie, in 1992.3 Owing to a combination of perfectionism and the wounds sustained in this struggle, which the French Church historian Etienne Fouilloux does not hesitate to call "the only theological debate of any importance at least in France, between the condemnation of modernism and the Second Vatican Council,"4 Labourdette largely restricted himself to writing notices of books for the Revue Thomiste (though, admittedly, these were both numerous and judicious). In the course of the 1970s he was removed from teaching at the Dominican study house in Toulouse , owing to what his biographer, Henri Donneaud, calls discreetly "les malheurs des temps."5· His principal work, the Cours de theologie morale-a commentary, but of a speculative and at times original kind, on the Secunda Pars of Thomas's Summa Theologiae-has enjoyed a posthumous career as a muchsought -after duplicated or photocopied work for many years. The story opens with the publication in 1946 of an essay entitled "La theologie et ses sources" by Pere Labourdette, professor in the Dominican studium of the Province of Toulouse (at that time situated at Saint-Maximin in Provence) and editor of the Revue Thomiste, where the article appeared. It took the form of a studied criticism of two projects just launched by the French Jesuits: Sources Chretiennes, under the general editorship ofJean Danielou and Henri de Lubac, and the series Theologie, which was under the direction of the Jesuit faculty of Lyons-Fourvieres with Henry Bouillard, an historical theologian specializing in the 3 Un maitre en tbeologie: Le Pere Marie-Michel Labourdette, O.P. = Revue Tbomiste 92, no. 1 (1992).

AN EARLY WORK BY ROGER MARTIN DU GARD

ROGERMARTIN DU GARD always had a high respect for artistic integrity; it is well known that he three times abandoned novels well under way because they did not satisfy his aesthetic demands, and later even destroyed the manuscript of the entire seventh volume of his novel-series, Les Thibault, instead taking several years to remodel the entire plan. Yet in one case he did try to salvage something from the wreck. This was in 1910. when he published a nouvelle, L'Une de !Wus. Martin du Gard's first attempted novel was to be a long fresco, Une Vie de Saint, based 0n the life of a priest. and treated in the Tolstoyan manner. After eighteen months of work on it, during which time he had already written the length of two volumes, he canle to the conclusion that it was inadequate and gave up his efforts. His ambitions had. in fact, exceeded his abilities; and his next attempt and first published novel, Devenir!, on the very theme of failure, which he felt threatened him, was much more modest in scope. Devenir! was moderately successful, and Martin du Gard later allowed it to be reissued and included in the collected edition of his works in the PIljade series; afterwards he regained sufficient self-confidence to launch on another Tolstoyan novel-'une grande fresque'-, fortified by the favourable judgments of friends and certain critics, and by wider reading of George Eliot, Gogol, Rolland, Dostolevski and Hardy.! Once again he chose a pseudo-biography, but instead of a priest his subject was to be a woman. Marise :
