reviewed Essays Critical and Clinical on July 11, 2007 Essays Critical and Clinical
This is probably one of my favorite literary theory books. I should first have said that the word "theory" and its connotations, not to mention all that is "literary", kind of scare the piss out of me. Deleuze writes here of Alfred Jarry, Whitman, Spinoza, Lewis Carroll, and of course Beckett, Nietzsche, and Melville, among others.
It was enough for me to read Deleuze bring Bartleby back to where it should be, a "violently comical text", but fortunately Deleuze doesn't stop there. Yes, there is the usual Deleuze openings, becomings, lines of flight, possibles, schizoid bodies, and stuttering. But here, they are treated quickly, critically (as in literary), and clinically (as in medicinal).
A few remembered highlights for me are 'What Children Say', 'Bartleby; or, The Formula', and 'The Exhausted'
I'll gladly lend or give this book to someone I've hugged or kissed in real life, so if you are a friend and are interested in reading this, let me know.
