First line

There looms, within abjection, one of those violent, dark revolts of being, directed against a threat that seems to emanate from an exorbitant outside or inside, ejected beyond the scope of the possible, the tolerable, the thinkable. It lies there quite close, but it cannot be assimilated.

Publisher's note

Powers of Horror is an excellent introduction to an aspect of contemporary French literature which has been allowed to become somewhat neglected in the current emphasis on para-philosophical modes of discourse.

Annotation

In this long essay on abjection, Kristeva draws examples from literary figures such as Dostoevsky, Joyce, Proust, Borges, Sade, and Artaud.
