About this product
Product Information
A significant and lively contribution to the growing field of nuclear criticism, Letter Bomb explores the tensions that exist among such writers as Derrida, Lacan, Girard, Blanchot, and Bloch. He plays these writers against one another and against works of literature--as well as, occasionally, film or music--that deal explicitly with the nuclear theme. I read Letter Bomb with pleasure. It is a highly personal study, written more like an essay or a meditation than a traditional academic book. Peter Schwenger raises important issues and offers excellent readings of noncanonical contemporary novels. He also tackles some of the most formidable French critics. Letter Bomb isa very special work. --Ora Avni, Emory University.Product Identifiers
