About the Author
Kenner, Hugh: - Hugh Kenner (1923-2003) was one of America's great literary critics. He wrote on a range of subjects that includes Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, T. S. Eliot, and geodesic domes.
Davenport, Guy: - As Bruce Bawer wrote in Bookforum, "the late Guy Davenport (1927-2005) left behind an oeuvre that is one long lesson in the history of civilization, and to read any part of it story, essay, or translation is to be enthralled by his unflagging intellectual energy and engagement." His books include The Geography of the Imagination, The Death of Picasso, Herakleitos and Diogenes, A Table of Green Fields, The Cardiff Team, DaVinci's Bicycle, and many more.
Praise for this book
"Hugh Kenner's new book is so full of a number of things...and so unconfined by the conventional limits of these specialties that the temptation would be to call it a tour de force .... But it is hard to call a tour de force a work whose impact is as evident and just as the sun on a clear morning."
Kenner is able as few are to show us a style, a signature, a way of being literary that can transform the world of soup cans and dead authors 'into a sort of word, totally inexplicit, totally assertive, inexplicably permanent.'
Hugh Kenner's new book is so full of a number of things . . . and so unconfined by the conventional limits of these specialties that the temptation would be to call it a tour de force . . . But it is hard to call a tour de force a work whose impact is as evident and just as the sun on a clear morning.
"This is one of the best short books of literary criticism that I know."--"Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism"
