by: Ramon Saldivar

Hardcover. Princeton NJ, Princeton University Press, 1st, 1984, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a lightly worn and faded dust jacket, 267 pages. Novels affirm the power of fiction to portray the horizons of knowledge and to dramatize the ways that the truths of human existence are created and preserved. Professor Saldivar shows that deconstructive readings of novels remind us that we do not apprehend the world directly but through interpretive codes. Previous owner's name, stamp to front fly leaf.
