Reviews
"This book offers a new perspective on why and how philosophy was 'literary' in Spain in the twentieth century, rooting this issue not in an authorial choice or a writing strategy but rather in the idea that it was through the possibilities of literature that life, considered a reality 'prior' to any philosophical inquiry, could be grasped." — Juan Herrero-Senés, co-editor of Avant-Garde Cultural Practices in Spain (1914-1936): The Challenge of Modernity
