...(T)his is a brilliant book of real power and originality. Its novelty and its power derive...from a serious and profound engagement with recent post-structuralist theories and debates on artistic and figurative language which are put to brilliant use in the explication of the concept of ecstatic speech...It is illuminating, and at points and in certain passages, a tour de force. The style is clear and readable especially in those areas where the concepts and the experience he refers to become especially complex or rarefied. (Nicholas K. Browne, University of California, Los Angeles) Skryť popis
