{"product_id":"they-have-all-been-healed-jan-plug-9780810132634","title":"They Have All Been Healed: Reading Robert Walser","description":"In perhaps the most provocative reading to date of the Swiss German modernist Robert Walser, Walter Benjamin asserted that Walser's figures \"have all been healed.\" T\u003ci\u003ehey Have All Been Healed\u003c\/i\u003e takes up and extends Benjamin's assessment by following the figure of healing throughout major works by Walser, from his minidrama \u003ci\u003eSnow White\u003c\/i\u003e and his acknowledged masterpieces \u003ci\u003eThe Walk\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJakob von Gunten\u003c\/i\u003e to his enigmatic last novel, The Robber. At the same time, Jan Plug reads Walser alongside his most compelling readers, tracing how not only Benjamin but also Giorgio Agamben, W. G. Sebald, and the Brothers Quay complicate, clarify, and enact that same process of healing in their own work. Working out the theological implications of Walser's work and of the tradition to which he gives rise, Plug at once recasts one of the major authors of the twentieth century and articulates a new conception of healing and salvation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Plug\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081013263X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810132634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jan Plug","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096742371583,"sku":"9780810132634","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-have-all-been-healed-jan-plug-9780810132634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
