She wrote The Black Notebooks, she notes in her introductory essay, not out of "desire" but to "save [her] life.". At her best, Derricotte is reminiscent of Nella Larsen, for whom "passing" was a primary topic, and Doris Lessing in The Golden Notebooks, which is also about avoiding breakdown through writing.
