About This Item
University of Iowa Press, 1986. hardcover. very good: slightly bumped corners, text clean, binding tight./very good: rubbing, evidence of dampstain on rear flap, NOT clipped. 8vo 181pp. from front flap: "This absorbing new study discusses theories of interpretation and construction of the self in six important contemporary novels. In semiotic analyses of John Barth's LETTERS, Vladimir Nabokov's PALE FIRE, John Hawkes' TRAVESTY, Thomas Pynchon's GRAVITY'S RAINBOW, Stanley Elkin's THE FRANCHISER, and Flannery O'Connor's WISE BLOOD, Patrick O'Donnell argues that contemporary fiction takes interpretation as its subject and as the very impetus for its making." #01003.
