{"product_id":"void-and-voice-charles-okeefe-9780807892558","title":"Void and Voice: Questioning Narrative Conventions in André Gide's Major First-Person Narratives","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles O'Keefe provides a close reading of André Gide's three major first-person narratives -- \u003ci\u003eL'Immoraliste\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Porte étroite\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLa Symphonie pastorale\u003c\/i\u003e -- through the lens of semiotics and narratology. O'Keefe argues that Gide is in many ways a 'pre-postmodernist' who uses narrative strategies to show that there is a crucial connection between telling a story and telling the self. In particular, O'Keefe demonstrates the paradoxical fact that the tales simultaneously subvert and generate the illusion of their own mimetic presence. O'Keefe's study, with its judicious use of deconstructionist techniques, offers new insights into the literary and philosophical implications of Gide's fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles O'Keefe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.91w x 0.75d","brand":"Charles O'Keefe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457725739263,"sku":"9780807892558","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b6dc8ea-0e11-49b0-b36a-c1b47fdd270e.jpg?v=1777400671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/void-and-voice-charles-okeefe-9780807892558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
