That event has long been studied by a disparate company of interpreters: prophets, priests, and rabbis, poets and philosophers, linguists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, novelists and filmmakers. All have suggested that in the contingencies of discourse, there are precious indications to be gleaned, for which special techniques are required. In \u003ci\u003eFar Calls, \u003c\/i\u003eDaniel Heller-Roazen reconstructs such arts of detection, interweaving ancient, medieval, and modern examples. From the rituals of the ancient Greeks, Jews, and Romans to Freud and Lacan, from Augustine's catching of a salvific scrap of speech to the inspiration that Breton and Yeats, Proust and Joyce, drew from profane cries and transmissions, \u003ci\u003eFar Calls\u003c\/i\u003e explores the powers of sonorous coincidence and the varieties of reading that it incites.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Heller-Roazen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945861045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945861048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Daniel Heller-Roazen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838492004607,"sku":"9781945861048","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac72fc65-597b-401a-a984-90ada2d5f632.jpg?v=1746589997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/far-calls-daniel-heller-roazen-9781945861048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
