Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu.

In this book about the complicated experience of pursuing a Ph.D., Matthew Roberson details the curious world of a group stuck between childhood and adulthood, idealism and surrealism, representation and reality. 1998.6 focuses on three main characters - in three variations of the same story - writing dissertations on postmodern novelist and cult hero Ronald Sukenick. Each confronts the perverse challenge of studying a writer whose illogical surrealism undercuts the clear discussion necessary in a Ph.D. dissertation - and each fails, sometimes badly, and sometimes in oddly brilliant ways. What he wants he thinks is to screw things up. If you screw things up they fall apart. If things fall apart then you're under the skin of the world.
