title = "When the case writer eclipses the case: Linda L{\^e}'s case study of Ingeborg Bachmann",
abstract = "When at the age of twenty the Vietnamese voluntary exile in France, Linda L{\^e} (1963- ), made the “d{\'e}couverte capitale” (major discovery) of a French translation of the work of the self-exiled Austrian poet-turned-writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973), a thought was planted that would lead to L{\^e} making Bachmann the subject of a literary case study and the object of a writerly case. Lauren Berlant writes that the case study is different from the case, in that the former produces the latter as an exemplary instance. In turn, I argue that the critical attention that L{\^e} pays the writer she considers her literary precursor is evidence of this very trajectory. ",
