Reviews

"The Abyss of Representation is an ambitious and highly illuminating book."—Ernesto Laclau

The Abyss of Representation is an outstanding contribution to a theory of literature and aesthetic philosophy. It is a strong elaboration of the failure inherent in representation and that failure’s relevance to a cultural and political theory.”—Michael Bernard-Donals, coauthor of Between Witness and Testimony: The Holocaust and the Limits of Representation
