Taking James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e as a joint starting point, David Vichnar draws genealogical lines from there through the work of more than fifty writers up to very recent years, including William Burroughs, B. S. Johnson, Ian Sinclair, Kathy Acker, Alan Moore, David Foster Wallace, and many others. Centering the exploration around five strategies employed by Joyce--narrative parallax, stylistic metempsychosis, concrete writing, forgery, and neologizing the logos--the book reveals the striking continuities and developments from Joyce's day to our own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Vichnar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8024649373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788024649375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolinum Press, Charles University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"David Vichnar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990681059583,"sku":"9788024649375","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89167595-e84f-4be6-b5bb-381c59b6c0de.jpg?v=1683306058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-avant-postman-david-vichnar-9788024649375","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
