Meer over het boek

Exploring the impact of the 1960s critique of authorship, this work delves into how writers like Judith Butler, Zadie Smith, and David Foster Wallace navigate the complexities of literary and theoretical boundaries. It highlights their shared quest to transcend the traditional author-subject framework, presenting texts that blend theory with narrative. The book examines their responses through four key themes: communication, intention, agency, and labor, revealing a rich interplay between literary creativity and philosophical inquiry.
