Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. I died at Auschwitz, French writer Charlotte Delbo asserts, and nobody knows it. Moebian Nights: Reading Literature and Darkness develops a new understanding of literary reading: that in the wake of disasters like the Holocaust, death remains a premise of our experience rather than a future. Challenging customary aesthetic assumptions that we write in order not to die, Sandor Goodhart suggests (with Kafka) we write to die. Drawing upon analyses developed by Girard, Foucault, Blanchot, and Levinas (along with examples from Homer to Beckett), Moebian Nights proposes that all literature works autobiographically, which is to say, in the wake of disaster; with the credo I died; therefore, I am; and for which the language of topology (for example, the Moebius strip) offers a vocabulary for naming the deep structure of such literary, critical, and scriptural sacrificial and anti-sacrificial dynamics. "Meobian Nights: Literary Reading in a Time of Crisis develops a new understanding of literary reading: that in the wake of disasters like the Holocaust, death remains a premise of our experience rather than a future.
