Being an Introduction - Roth, Michael

. .

Résumé :
Death haunts the dance of the graces. The great author is a fiction, after losing her father he becomes too real. Eleni Hajivassiliou stands between a ghost and the power to materialize its legacy. This sui generis assault on the genres of storytelling presents community and family as antidotes to the poisons of main character culture threatening human life. In two acts and an interlude, using recursive genres, Roth engineers a fabrication that does what it says and says what it does.

Through depth of understanding, concentration of will, and the strength of love, this insightful and challenging work offers an alternative vision to what we have been force fed by the attention economy.
