Raymond Queneau’s Dubliners
An exploration of two comic, erotic, and feminist novels by Raymond Queneau set in Ireland. This book examines Joycean influences and a surreal version of the Dublin Uprising, solving puzzles to reveal *Les Œuvres completes de Sally Mara* as a subtly integrated literary work.
Bodies of Speech
Aristotle was the first to conceive of poetry and oration as written texts. This book reads his Poetics and Rhetoric to reveal a systematic text theory—a profound theory able to hold a fruitful dialogue with modern thinking.
This volume shows there is much more to analysing literature than traditional studies. It demonstrates, in non-technical language, how diverse perspectives from psychology to computer science can offer new insights into literary texts, their readers, and effects.
