I Am the Other is a welcome addition to cloning scholarship. It may
skirt some issues or texts, but it also offers fresh readings of
others that seem to have been critically flogged to death. Above
all, it constitutes an extremely useful theoretical framework for
future work with other literary texts in the field, including those
omitted here. As such, the study will probably remain a standard
reference work.
