Defoe (EL-E-PHANT Books)
by Leslie Scalapino
Category: Fiction

An epic where images of battle become meditiations, an epic in silence as the narrative moves toward a place where the reader and text become one. 'As a literary work, Defoe most closely resembles the sort of automatic writing pioneered by Breton and Soupault; as a political and philosophical critique of contemporary discourse, Defoe reveals a deep affinity with the works of Heideigger and Derrida.' - The Review of Contemporary Fiction
