Dictations: On Haunted Writing
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Avital Ronell, Author Of Crack Wars And The Telephone Book, Defies The Undefiable. In Dictations She Looks At Goethe, The Dictator. A Figure Whose Every Word Is Treated With Reverence By Germanists, Goethe Is Exemplary. But Of What? As If Teetering Between Life And Death, Goethe Was Born In A Legendary Way: Thought To Be Stillborn, He Was Brought To Life By Extraordinary Efforts. Eightythree Years Later He Died, Or Seemed To, And Was Praised As An Immortal Spirit. His Spirit Immediately Began To Haunt. Four Years Later Johann Peter Eckermann Published Two Volumes Recounting His Conversations With Goethe. Goethe Quickly Got The Best Of Him. He Spoke Eerily Through Eckermann To A World Eager To Hear His Latest Words. Eckermann'S Books Are Usually Considered To Be By Goethe, And Eckermann Himself Has Become Another Of Goethe'S Creations. The Master Of Faust And Wilhelm Meister Keeps Coming Back. He Visited The Dreams And Anxieties Of Persons As Sensitive As Kafka, Nietzsche, And Freud, Speaking Up In Quotations Or Casting His Shadow Over Poems, Stories, And The Birth Pangs Of Psychoanalysis. He Is A Difficult Case. Avita Ronell Has Never Shied From The Difficult. In Dictations, Her First Book, Originally Published In 1986, She Starts At The Edge Of An Abyssthe Question Of Spirit, As Exemplified By An Author Whose Writings Transcended Even Himself. Often Invoked But Never Seen, Spirit Has Been A Matter Literary Scholars Have Declined To Look At Or Look For. Here, Though Restless, It Comes Into View. In A New Preface, Ronell Describes The Circumstances Surrounding The Writing And Reception Of The Book.
