| Abstract | "Enter a figure called "Daniel." In some ways, he resembles Derrida's unrecognized third son. In others, he resembles the author; this book's creative-critical approach thus turns scandalously personal. In addressing literary questions, it draws on dreams, faith, the author's middle name, and a testimony to illegitimacy. One of "Envois'" key conceits is that it is "the preface to a book [...] not [yet] written." Taking, as cues, fleeting references to the biblical book of Daniel and George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda, "Envois" is read as a preface not so much to an unwritten book as to the text that is the name "Daniel.""-- Provided by publisher. |
