    Elegant Complexity is the first critical work to provide detailed and thorough commentary on each of the 192 sections of David Foster Wallace's masterful Infinite Jest. No other commentary on Infinite Jest recognizes that Wallace clearly divided the book into 28 chapters that are thematically unified. A chronology at the end of the study reorders each section of the novel into a sequential timeline that orients the reader and that could be used to support a chronological reading of the novel. Other helpful reference materials include a thematic outline, more chronologies, a map of one the novel's settings, lists of characters grouped by association, and an indexed list of references. Elegant Complexity orients the reader at the beginning of each section and keeps commentary separate for those readers who only want orientation. The researcher looking for specific characters or themes is provided a key at the beginning of each commentary. Carlisle explains the novel's complex plot threads (and discrepancies) with expert insight and clear commentary. The book is 99% spoiler-free for first-time readers of Infinite Jest.

  • - Analyzing the Plays of Edward Albee
    von Greg Carlisle
    27,00 €

    Irrevocably Intertwined outlines and analyzes each of Edward Albee's thirty published plays, both on their own terms and from the viewpoint that each play is one facet of Albee's entire, unified body of work. Each play is considered to be equally significant to Albee's development as a playwright, regardless of its length or critical reception. Throughout his rich and varied canon, Albee's characters continually struggle to inspire in others an understanding of their subjective identities, to manage the animal impulses that lie just beneath the veneer of their civilized behavior, and to face the reality that living each present moment is preferable to closing down.
