Title: The centrifugal novel
Subtitle: S.Y. Agnon's poetics of composition
First published: 1999
Description: "The study addresses a number of issues, among them the importance that manuscripts and text editing have in our comprehension of fiction; how Agnon composed some of his short works, lending them an indeterminacy and force to serve as comments on the human condition. In addition, the final chapters demonstrate several approaches to the interpretation of A Guest for the Night from thematic, linguistic, and intratextual perspectives."--BOOK JACKET.
