It

by Dominique Fourcade, Peter Consenstein (Translator)

In French, ‘il,’ the third person masculine singular pronoun, can also have no gender at all: il pleut means ‘it’s raining.’ In Dominique Fourcade’s IL, ‘il’ means ‘it’—but not exactly. Genderless, ‘it’ is the man-woman, the woman man—and the place where we are each other.
